Festival Plaza is a prominent event space located in downtown Windsor along the riverfront. Spanning over 100,000 square feet, the plaza features a covered stage and multiple service hookups, making it an ideal setting for large-scale festivals, outdoor concerts, and community events. Festival Plaza's prime location along the Detroit River offers scenic views, providing a picturesque backdrop for events and gatherings. Its proximity to other downtown attractions, such as the Windsor Sculpture Park and Caesars Windsor, makes it a central hub for cultural and recreational activities in the city.

In January 2025, City Council approved a $20 million master plan to enhance the plaza's facilities. Key features of the design include enhanced greenspace, two shade structures, water features, and flexible seating amenities to address heat island concerns. The approved master plan is available in the link and accompanying images below:
