Important Traffic Advisory
With more than seven active theatres in the Foxtown area, traffic and parking can be a challenge if you don't plan ahead. Doors open 60 minutes prior to show time for all Fox Theatre events and most Joe Louis Arena and Cobo Arena events. We highly recommend that you arrive at least 60 minutes before your event.
