Communities across the Blue Water Area are preparing for another summer of outdoor concerts and live music performances. Concert series are scheduled in parks, downtown districts and waterfront venues throughout St. Clair and Sanilac counties.
Many of the events are free to attend and feature local and regional performers spanning rock, country, blues, Motown and pop music. Here are some of the concert series planned across the region this summer.
