Fourth Fridays in the Park takes place at Campus Martius Park (CMP) on the fourth Fridays and Saturdays of the month throughout the summer. It is part of the Summer in the Park series, presented by Compuware. The Summer in the Park series includes activities, shopping and entertainment for free throughout the summer in Campus Martius Park/Cadillac Square, Capital Park, Grand Circus Park, and Paradise Valley Beatrice Buck Park.
Originally started as a monthly downtown music celebration at CMP, 4th Fridays in the Park have now expanded to include a marketplace for artisan food and goods vendors. This year’s 4th Fridays in the Park will now carry over into Saturdays as well, with kids’ activities, movies and more music.
“Fourth Fridays in the Park has become a much anticipated event,” says Summer in the Park Programming and Special Events Director, Njia Kai. “It’s all about continuing to build on the social, cultural and economic revitalization of downtown.”
August’s headliner will be The Wailers.
