Tickets are now available for the Summer Sounds concert series at Michigan Legacy Art Park.
From July 6 through August 13, the Art Park will present family-friendly, outdoor concerts every weekend. Tickets are $10, and kids 12 and under get in free.
The 2018 Summer Sounds concert series—presented by Mo & Linda White—features a superb, eclectic roster of talent, including The Bergamot, Nina & The Buffalo Riders, Sally Rogers & Claudia Schmidt, Jonathan Timm, Grupo Aye, and the Nashon Holloway Band.
The forest setting of the Art Park amphitheater provides a unique concert experience, and each of the six performers is different from the next, which gives the community as well as area visitors a chance to experience something new.
Tickets and event details can be found on the Art Park website or by calling 231.378.4963.
All shows begin at 7 p.m. Rides from the parking lot to the amphitheater are available beginning at 6:15 p.m. for those with limited mobility. Guests are welcome to bring picnics, camp chairs, and blankets. Art Park camp chairs will be available to rent or purchase.
To purchase a custom picnic dinner for two delivered to you at the concert, call Crystal Mountain at 231.378.2000 ext. 5000. If raining, the concert will be held indoors at Crystal Mountain.
