What’s Happening Each Week

Live Music

Enjoy a full lineup of performers throughout the upcoming 2027 season. Bring a chair, family & friends, and enjoy an evening outdoors with your community.

2027 schedule is forthcoming!

The Artist Showcase

We are looking forward to enhancing this weekly program inside the pavilion, bringing our community together through the “arts!” We thank the “Locate Your Light” organization for all they do for local artists in our community and giving back through MMI.

Fun for Kids

We’ve got engaging, family-friendly activities that make this a perfect outing for all ages.

Food Trucks & treats

Grab dinner or dessert from rotating food trucks and local vendors.

Community Connections

We thank local organizations such as: Michigan Alliance for Families, Humane Animal Treatment Society, The Mt. Pleasant Discovery Museum, Hopewell Ranch, Listening Ear, The Ennis Center (Foster care), Commission on Aging and many others for being on-site each week to connect, share resources, and support families.

Why Your Participation Matters

Music in the Park was created to bring our community together and champion MMI’s mission of inclusivity. When you show up — whether to enjoy a concert, support an artist, or grab a bite — you’re helping support programs that make our community stronger and more welcoming for everyone.

Our local business supporters

We want to give special recognition to all of our local businesses that support the mission of MMI, and show up weekly to support our community. We will have opportunities for you to join in the 2027 season, coming soon.

Music in the Park

2026 was another amazing year with MMI’s Music in the Park Summer Concert Series. This series isn’t just about concerts, it’s about bringing people together, celebrating local talent, and supporting a mission rooted in inclusion for individuals served through MMI.

Another integral part of this series, is all of our local businesses and non-profits who show their support of MMI, our mission and are all about “community!” Without them, we couldn’t continue from year to year.
