Philip A. Hart Plaza is an open, mostly hard-surfaced park in downtown Detroit, Michigan, along the Detroit River. Lying immediately south of the intersection of Woodward and Jefferson Avenues, it is the focal point for festivals and public demonstrations of all kinds. The 14 acre (57,000 m²) plaza, which is named for the late U.S. Senator Philip Hart, opened in 1975 and has a capacity of 40,000 people. At the center of the plaza is the Horace E. Dodge and Son Memorial Fountain, designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1978.[1]

The Detroit Electronic Music Festival is held at Hart Plaza each May. Hart Plaza is also the traditional location of rallies to celebrate championships won by Detroit's major sports teams.

In the past summers, Summer Jamz has been held in here.
