Final two Highland summer concerts tonight, next week

Highland Township’s Summer Concert Series will be coming to a close with the last two concerts being held tonight, Wednesday, Aug. 8, and next Wednesday, Aug. 15.

Performing tonight will be The Spoonful Blues Band, with Christine Kerster serving as the opening act.

The final concert performer will be the Huron Valley Chorus and Company. The Glee Camp Chorus will open up the concert.

The concerts take place outside Veterans Park at Livingston Road and John Street.

“It’s very family-friendly and intimate because the band is right at the audience level in a nice park setting,” said Highland Township Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Director Missy Dashevich.

The main acts start at 7 p.m. with the opening acts starting on stage at 6:30 p.m.

All of the concerts are free.

Audience members may bring lawn chairs, blankets, and food to the concerts.

Food will be available for purchase from Picasso Pizza and Big Nick’s Hot Dogs.

The Huron Valley Council for the Arts, headquartered near Veterans Park at the Highland Station House, will open its doors during the concerts, as well.
