Dearborn Free Summer Concerts Begin June 27

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn has announced a free concert series beginning with a performance by the Motor City Brass Band at 3 p.m. Sunday at Ford Field Park, and running through the end of August.

Days and times vary for the series, with concerts set to take place outside at Ford Field Park or inside at the Michael A. Guido Theater at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. \

Each concert is free, and officials said attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs to the outdoor events.

The free concert series includes other local favorites, like Fifty Amp Fuse and the Dearborn Symphony, as well as bands playing the music of Chicago and Santana.

Officials said the concert series will generate the same type of community spirit and offer the same type of musical entertainment usually found at the city’s Homecoming festival, which was canceled in March 2021 due to COVID safety concerns based on conditions at the time.
