One of my favorite posts to write the past few years has been a BIG list of summer concerts. First, because I love lists. Second, because NOTHING beats live music. If your soul is like mine, it majorly missed live music and entertainment this past year and I cannot wait to rock out and support the arts with these 2021 summer concerts in Metro Detroit!
From a family standpoint, 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. I love that they don’t care what others think!
This year, I’m collaborating with several local bloggers to bring you several lists of {mostly FREE} summer concert series. Make sure to check back often because we will add to our lists as concert information becomes available!
I’m covering Livingston County. See my fellow bloggers for what’s happening near you:

In case you didn’t realize, the word “Daun” on your site is spelled incorrectly. I had similar issues on my website which hurt my credibility until someone pointed it out and I discovered some of the services like SpellHelper.com or SpellingCheck.com which help with these type of issues.
