Acoustic rockers Bob Skon Trio will be at the Glazier Building Stage, and returning favorites, Los Dingos Del Norte perform classic rock tunes at the Clocktower Gazebo.

In partnership with Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, the Chelsea District Library’s Comedy Showcase features comic Andy Pitz at Katie’s Korner on the library lawn. Pitz is one of the most sought after comedians on the east coast. His act is part observation mixed with stories about his life and points out the absurdities of life.
