Ann Arbor Civic Band
est. 1933
We Play in the Park
For six summer evenings, a variety of community musicians gather together to perform for families, townspeople, and local visitors in a series of outdoor concerts. Some bring a picnic supper, some bring their dogs, toddlers dance, couples hold hands as the music fills the air.
Enriching. Inspiring. Uplifting.
It's an experience like no other, making creative connections and bringing community together.
