It began as TastFest, then became the annual five-day CityFest food festival that occurs near Independence Day weekend in the New Center district of Detroit, Michigan. It has since become a summer long affair with the advent called "New Center Park" after the park's name.

Grand Boulevard and Second Ave along with a 5,000 sq ft (460 m²). outdoor patio.

The events have traditionally been sponsored by Comerica.

The festival is supplemented by live music and other performances, as well as merchandise vendors. Locally referred to as simply "New Center Park."
