June 12 – July 5
The 2015 Ann Arbor Summer Festival will host an exciting mix of regional, national, and international artists of all disciplines. The indoor Mainstage series includes ticketed performances of world-class music, dance, theater and comedy. The outdoor program, Top of the Park, is held along a beautiful campus green and offers admission-free concerts, movies under the stars, open-air spectacles, and unique family attractions. The festival’s Beyond series includes large-scale outdoor special attractions and unique pop-up events throughout the city. Consider building your own schedule and utilizing the free app at a2sf.org/visit/mobile-app. The festival is affordable too. “Ninety percent of the 140 events are admission-free, though we ask for a $5 per person, per visit donation,” says Amy Nesbitt, Executive & Artistic Director. Events are planned six nights per week during the festival and parking is available throughout the city. ♦
