Ann Arbor Summer Festival

Welcome!

The Ann Arbor Summer Festival is an exhilarating celebration of performing arts, outdoor entertainment and community spirit. Each year, the three-week event offers dozens of performances, events, activities, exhibitions, parties and more, with eclectic music, dance, theater, film, visual arts and family fun.

Now celebrating its 25th season, the Festival has invigorated the cultural life of this community as a joyous town-gown event for two and a half decades. We bring the world to Ann Arbor: innovative artists, eager students, enthusiastic audiences, curious visitors and anyone looking to be inspired by the performing arts.

As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Festival is governed by a 34-member Board of Trustees, half of whom are appointed by the Regents of the University of Michigan, and half by the City Council of Ann Arbor. A staff of four full-time employees plus more than 100 seasonal employees and hundreds of volunteers comprise the Festival’s organizational structure.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's event!

Robb Woulfe, Executive Director
