Families in Metro Detroit can look forward to the return of one of the area’s most popular summer traditions—the Kids Komotion Concert Series at Marshbank Park. This free, family-friendly concert series brings music, entertainment, and interactive fun to West Bloomfield, making it an easy go-to for parents looking to fill summer mornings (and evenings) with something memorable.
