A modified version of the Marshbank Music Series

kicks off July 15th!

Join us on the concert hill at Marshbank Park for an evening of exciting live entertainment, featuring music from a variety of genres. Each concert features two bands, food trucks and will run from 5:30 - 8:30 pm. We are limiting this year’s attendance to 250 people** per night so participants are able to remain a safe distance from one another. Each concert will be broadcast live on 89.3 Lakes FM as well as on WB Parks’ Facebook page.  We are unable to offer a beer and wine tent this year.

Registration information:

  • Registration is reserved for West Bloomfield residents only and households can only register for one concert date. If you register for more than one concert, you'll be refunded, less a $5 administrative fee. We are trying to engage as many residents as possible by limiting households to one concert date in the series.
  • Households are required to pre-register, by household, prior to each concert.  A question will ask how many people will be attending the concert.
  • Registered cars must arrive between 5:30-6:30 pm. After 6:30 pm, unregistered cars will be let in, until full.
  • Households who are registered but are not checked in by 6:30 pm, will forfeit their registration.

This concert experience will be available as long as people follow the rules; please do your part. On concert dates, Marshbank Park will be closed to regular park users at 5 pm.

Gathering Sizes:  As stated in the Governor’s last two press releases, she is anticipating our region to enter into Phase 5 at the beginning of July.  If we are not allowed gatherings of over 250 by the first concert date, we will give pre-registered households a full refund or the option to transfer to the rescheduled date.
