[edit] History
The Ann Arbor Summer Festival presented its first full season 25 years ago.
[edit] Indoor and outdoor performances
The Festival was created to support two performing arts programs, one indoor and one outdoor, on the University of Michigan campus. The Mainstage series occurs in the Power Center for the Performing Arts and Hill Auditorium, and includes ticketed performances of music, dance, theater and comedy that are national and international in scope. The second series, Top of the Park, takes place outside on Ingalls Mall in front of the University of Michigan's Rackham Graduate School. Top of the Park is free and offers live bands throughout the festival and movies on weeknights.
