Summer is quickly approaching here in the Motor City, and you know what that means: it’s time to start preparing for all sorts of fun with family and friends. As warm weather becomes the norm and the kids are finished with school for the year, festivals become an unbeatable way to celebrate the season. One small town within driving distance of Detroit offers a top-notch summerfest, and you’ll want to mark your calendar.
The town of Trenton is located just 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Detroit by car.
With a population of under 20,000 full-time residents, it falls under the classification of a small town - and you’ll notice a sense of community as soon as you arrive. There’s plenty to love.
In addition to unique destinations like Elizabeth Park and other spots along the shores of the Detroit River, Trenton is home to an annual summer festival that delights locals and visitors alike.
The 2021 Trenton Summer Festival is scheduled for June 25 and 26, the last weekend of the month. While this year’s fest is slightly modified to maintain health standards, it promises loads of fun.
Activities kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Whether you’re searching for tasty fare, a bit of shopping, or a stroll through town with loved ones, you’ll undoubtedly find something to appreciate here.
Check out a fascinating array of local cuisine vendors or explore an ample array of craft stands. You can even sign up to take part in a 5K or appreciate exciting live music performances.
Of course, attendees will also appreciate the simple pleasures of a local festival: friendly faces, welcoming businesses, and plenty of opportunities to create lasting memories with the entire family.
When you’re looking for an awesome way to escape from the city, venture to Trenton during the last weekend in June. You’ll be feeling the celebratory summer spirit in no time at all.
