Southeast Michigan Summer Concert Series

One of my favorite posts to write the past three years has been a BIG list of FREE summer concerts. First, because I love lists. Second, because nothing beats live music.

Community concerts are the perfect way to introduce your child to the performing arts and let them burn energy by dancing and enjoying the music. Some of my favorite summer memories have been dancing with my kids to live music. It’s admirable how much they don’t care what others think. We could all take a page from their book 😉

This year, I’m collaborating with several local bloggers to bring you lists of FREE Southeast Michigan summer concert series. Make sure to check back often because we will add to our lists as concert information becomes available!
