One black and white photograph showing the celebration in Detroit at the end of World War II. The elevated view looks northeastward to Woodward Avenue and Campus Martius. Many pedestrians and ticker tape can be seen on the sidewalks in the foreground. Michigan Avenue is visible at the left side of the photo and streetcar tracks can be seen running left and right along Woodward near the top of the photo. Handwritten black ink text on the verso reads "Downtown Detroit, Celebrating end of World War II, August, 1945."
