So many local metro Detroit communities offer free concert series in the summer. These concerts are great family events and a wonderful way to enjoy our beautiful summer weather while meeting a new neighbor or running into an old friend!
The following concert series take place in local parks so you can bring your own snacks and drinks and all are FREE of charge! So grab a blanket or lawn chairs, pack a picnic, some sunscreen and get out there Detroit Moms! All concerts are family friendly but those marked with a star (*) are specifically intended for children.
***Please note that days and hours of events are subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances. Always check the location’s website before heading out.***
