| Festivals & Fairs |
| Although summer is high season for festivals in Ann Arbor,
fairs and celebrations occur all year long. It is this festive
spirit that attracts people from all over Michigan, as well
as other states and countries, to come and explore the pride
of southeast Michigan. Here’s a peek at a handful of our
more popular annual events: |
- Summer in Ann Arbor means one thing: Art
Fair . Every July the city hosts four juried fairs over four
days. Thousands of artists from all over the country flock
to Ann Arbor to sell their wares at booths set-up throughout
the downtown area. The fair has become a full-blown festival
in recent years, complete with mime shows, strolling sidewalk
musicians, and street-side food courts.
- Ann Arbor Summer Fest is one of Ann Arbor's most beloved
and anticipated seasonal events. This three-and-a-half-week
celebration offers activities for all ages and something to
do each and every night. One of the highlights is Top of the
Park - a free, outdoor music series on top of the Fletcher
street parking structure, featuring local bands and classic
movies.
- The Ann Arbor Film Festival : Founded in 1963, this
event is the oldest of its kind in the country and remains
true to its original goal of promoting film as art and honoring
the artists who make it all possible. For six days each spring,
the Festival screens hundreds of experimental films, produced
by independent artists in the U.S. and abroad.
- Taste of Ann Arbor: This grand summer "block
party" has become a local tradition over the past 30
years. Stroll down closed-off streets while sampling some
of the best culinary creations Ann Arbor has to offer.
- Michigan Elvisfest : Think you need to go to Memphis
to feel the spirit of the King? You don’t! Every year
top Elvis Tribute Artists from throughout North America come
to Ypsilanti to perform and pay tribute to American legend
Elvis Presley.
