One of Downriver's fastest-growing community celebrations is returning August 14–15, 2026, at the Brownstown Recreation Campus on King Road. An emerging favorite, Brownstown Summer Fest continues to build on its reputation as a family-friendly destination that celebrates everything residents love about this township: community, entertainment, local businesses, and summertime fun.


A Festival for Every Generation

Whether you're visiting for the first time or making it an annual tradition, Brownstown Summer Fest offers something for every age. Families can spend the day exploring the Kids Zone, enjoying interactive activities, games and attractions designed for younger visitors. Shoppers will discover dozens of artisan vendors, handmade crafts, specialty products, and local businesses throughout the festival marketplace, while food trucks serve up everything from festival favorites to sweet treats.

As the sun begins to set, the festival comes alive with two unforgettable nights of live entertainment. Friday is Country Night, featuring an evening of country music that captures the spirit of summer with energetic performances, dancing and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for kicking off the weekend. On Saturday, the festival turns back the clock for Decades Night, celebrating the greatest hits of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. From disco and classic rock to pop anthems and nostalgic favorites, the music promises something every generation can enjoy.

Each night concludes with one of the festival's signature traditions – a spectacular fireworks display illuminating the Downriver sky. Festival entertainment also includes the popular Downriver's Got Talent, a reptile show, a magic show, an eating competition and much more!


Celebrating Local Pride

This event shines a spotlight on local entrepreneurs, nonprofits, community organizations, and volunteers who work together to create an unforgettable weekend. Every booth tells a story, every sponsor helps strengthen community connections and every visitor contributes to the welcoming atmosphere that has become the festival's signature.

For many businesses, the festival serves as an opportunity to introduce themselves to thousands of potential customers while reinforcing Brownstown Township's growing reputation as a vibrant place to live, work and invest.
