Cleary University will host its first Summerfest celebration, a family event open to everyone of all ages. The event features a car show, a live concert, food trucks, refreshments, a kids activity area and plenty of fun for the entire family, and proceeds go toward funding student scholarships at Cleary.
Summerfest is set for 5-9:30 p.m. Thursday, June 15, at Cleary University, located at 3750 Cleary Drive, off Grand River Avenue west of Latson Road in Howell.
General admission is $37 and includes the car show and a live concert by The Family Tradition Band, recently named “Best Band” in Detroit by Hour Detroit magazine, and “Best Country Band” by Review Magazine in Mid-Michigan.
Kids 12 and under attend free. Cleary is setting up a special area just for kids that will include bounce houses, face painting and balloon artists.
Cost for those interested in showcasing their vehicle is $20 with pre-registration, and $25 the day of Summerfest.
Guests can purchase featured favorites from many food trucks. Captain’s Wood Fired (pizza) Pies, Whoa Taco, Heaven on a Roll hoagies, Tony’s Hot Dogs and Kona Ice will be on site for the festivities.
“We are investing a great deal of time and energy to make our first Summerfest a sensational event the entire family can enjoy,” said Tom Egan, director of development at Cleary.
“The funds raised from this event directly support scholarships for students in need. Our hope is that the community and local business will support this event that truly will make a difference in the lives of future Cleary students.”
