Downtown Ann Arbor / Wednesday, June 27 – Sunday, July 8
If you missed the first couple weeks of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, don’t sweat — there’s still plenty of world-class music and entertainment left, so hop in the car and make the short trip up to A2. Top of the Park, which is free, presents some of the region’s best music in a wonderful outdoor setting every day, with the exception of Monday. Highlights include the progressive bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters (June 28), psychedelic funk favorites The Macpodz & Friends (June 29) and hometown electro-pop hero Charlie Slick (July 5). If you’re willing to fork out some cash ($30-$50), cabaret folk-pop musician Rufus Wainwright is playing the Power Center on June 30. The Capital Steps will ring in Independence Day with a little satire at the Power Center and Cinematic Titanic featuring the original cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will take over the Michigan Theater on July 5.
