Heritage Park is the perfect setting for the “Stars in the Park”
concerts. This series of eight to nine concerts each summer offers a
wide spectrum of performances, from local groups such as the Community
Band and Chorus to professional jazz, Celtic and big band sounds—even a
Beatles tribute band! The concerts take place every Thursday night, with
the exception of the week of July 4 and Founders Festival week,
beginning at 7:30 PM.
All concerts take place in Heritage Park’s grassy amphitheatre,
beginning at 7:30 PM. Bring a blanket or lawn chair; picnic dinner is
welcome. In case of inclement weather, most concerts will be relocated
to the Costick Center, 28600 W. Eleven Mile. Call (248) 473-1856 for
more information.
