Music on Belle Isle brings jazz and concert bands to perform at Sunset Point every Wednesday.
Music on Belle Isle is a given on any summer day on Detroit’s favorite island. Just ride around and you'll hear a host of cars giving their own mini-concert from their radios, or people blasting their playlists from a boombox.
If you want some more formal in the way of live music, there’s the Music on Belle Isle Group (MOBIG) River Blast concert series. The weekly series will bring a new music group to the island every Wednesday at 7 p.m. starting June 29. The hour-long concerts are completely free.
Farmington Concert Band will kick things off this Wednesday. MOBIG started the concert series back in 2018 with hopes of raising money to renovate the island’s historic Remick Band Shell. For now, performances will take place at Sunset Point.
