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.
As part of our exciting SummerFest series, join us for a FREE outdoor screening of the critically acclaimed movie Dogman! Grab your blankets and lawn chairs and settle in under the stars for a night of captivating cinema.
Enjoy the summer evening with friends and family while snacking on a selection of tasty treats and refreshing beverages available for purchase on-site. Whether you're a movie buff, a dog lover, or simply looking to enjoy a night out, this free screening is the perfect way to kick back and enjoy great cinema in the fresh air.
