Celebrate Summer in Metro-Detroit’s Backyard!
Our free outdoor summer series returns, this time with a patriotic theme that honors America’s 250th Anniversary. These diverse performances represent different aspects of the music that moves us, combining in a showcase that is uniquely American. Each movie is free, but registration is required.
Bring your blanket and chairs and we’ll provide the fun. We can’t wait to spend the best Wednesday nights of the year with you, here on the lake.
Join us for a FREE Family Movie Night on the Back Lawn!
