The Ann Arbor Summer Festival is quintessential Ann Arbor. A model of town-grown collaboration, the festival is a three week party including professional shows, outdoor movies, local bands, activities for toddlers and teens, a food court, and beer and wine garden. There is something for everyone. Shows at the Power Center and Hill Auditorium, and for the first time this year, the new wing of the University of Michigan Museum of Art, are traditional to edgy. Food opportunities range from burritos to sandwiches to cotton candy to pizza to ice cream. An eclectic selection of outdoor movies might include Jaws and Superman and Harold and Maude.

Now celebrating its 26th season, the Festival has a proud history. The Festival’s roots are firmly planted on the top of the U of M parking structure on Fletcher — hence the name Top of the Park. Three years ago, construction necessitated a move, and the Festival moved to the Ingalls Mall, a beautiful piece of campus just down the street from the parking structure. Space and grass have allowed the Festival to grow and innovate.

Last year, I had the honor of serving the Trustees of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival as Chair. This year, I urge you to join me on Washington Street and feel quintessential Ann Arbor in the Summer. It’s too good to miss.
