Grosse Ile Community Glass Wall Unveiling & Fall Market

The Grosse Ile Downtown Development Authority, in partnership with the Wyandotte Art & Glass Center, invites the community to the unveiling of the Community Glass Wall on Sunday, October 5, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Lyons Park. The unveiling ceremony will take place at 1:00 PM.

This permanent public artwork is the culmination of a two-year effort led by the Wyandotte Art & Glass Center and created in collaboration with more than 600 Grosse Ile residents of all ages. Community members contributed fused glass tiles assembled from precut shapes, which the Wyandotte Art & Glass Center then used to construct a 30-foot-long glass wall installation.

This project was designed to foster a strong sense of local identity and ownership. More than a visual landmark, the glass wall stands as a symbol of collective effort, reflecting the pride, participation, and shared values of the Grosse Ile community that brought it to life.

To celebrate this milestone, the unveiling will be accompanied by a Fall Market featuring loc al artisan vendors, live music, complimentary bites, and free children’s activities, including pumpkin painting.

This free, family-friendly event is the perfect way to welcome fall while honoring a historic community project that will stand for generations.

Grosse Ile Township to Update Master Plan for First Time in 22 Years

Grosse Ile Master Plan

Grosse Ile is excited to update its Master Plan for the first time in over twenty years. A Master Plan is a living document that serves as a framework for growth, redevelopment, and change in the Township, guided by a collective community vision. From the homes where you live to the parks where you play and the roads you take to get there, Grosse Ile's Master Plan will tell Township leaders how to make decisions about the future of Grosse Ile so it best meets your wants and needs. You play an important role in shaping that vision, starting today!

Learn More
Visit the Master Plan website to learn more about the process and ways to get involved.

Get Involved
We are now launching the first of two surveys throughout this process. Your input now will help shape the Master Plan and the future of this Township for years to come. Make your voice heard by taking this survey today.
