For many Metro-Detroit families, summertime means family fun on the lake — and at The War Memorial, that means SummerFest! Our annual summer fun series returns this year with family-friendly concerts on our lakefront lawn.
All SummerFest events are free and open to everyone from everywhere! Bring your lawn chair, blanket, or enjoy the festival from your boat. Concerts are rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, outdoor concerts will take place in the War Memorial Ballroom. While tickets are free, we do ask that you register with us at warmemorial.org/eventcalendar11/summerfest-persuasion

VIP Tickets Now Available
New this year! While SummerFest concerts are completely free to the public, you can support The War Memorial’s commitment to providing low-cost family friendly programming by purchasing a VIP ticket! VIP tickets are only $40-50 each and include reserved seating areas on either our balcony or on the lawn near the front of the stage, padded chairs, a private bar, and a complimentary beverage. We appreciate your support!
No summer festival would be complete without awesome eats, and SummerFest features a mouth-watering menu from The War Memorial’s own hospitality team, led by Chef Joe Paxton, delivering our own spin on classic Americana.
Please note, while picnics, picnic blankets and chairs are welcome, no outside beverages are permitted.
