This summer, Michigan is set to be a haven for music lovers with a diverse lineup of festivals catering to various tastes. Kicking off the season, the Bay City Music Festival and the Auburn Hills Summer Fest, both running from June 21 to 22, offer a multi-genre experience that promises something for everyone. Held at Veterans Memorial Park and Downtown Auburn Hills, respectively, these festivals provide the perfect start to a summer filled with musical adventures.
For those seeking a taste of bluegrass, the 52nd Annual Charlotte Bluegrass Festival from June 20 to 22 at the Eaton County Fairgrounds promises soulful tunes and community vibes. Meanwhile, electronic music enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the magical world of Electric Forest, held at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury from June 20 to 23. This festival is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic performances.
In July, the Concert of Colors in Detroit, from July 16 to 21, celebrates cultural diversity with an array of performances across multiple venues. Country music fans won't want to miss the Faster Horses Country Festival at the Michigan International Speedway from July 19 to 21, featuring top country acts and an unbeatable party atmosphere.
August brings the Afro Nation Detroit festival from August 17 to 18 at Bedrock’s Douglass Site, showcasing the best of Afrobeat and adding an international flair to Michigan's festival scene. Additionally, the Detroit Jazz Festival, from August 30 to September 2 at Campus Martius Park, is a must-attend for jazz aficionados.
Whether you're into variety, niche genres or cultural celebrations, Michigan's music festivals this summer offer a rich tapestry of experiences that cater to every musical palate.
