Kick Off Summer in Kalamazoo – Festivities Await Summer
June is sizzling in Kalamazoo, with a lineup of events that’ll make your summer unforgettable!
Every Wednesday, the city pulses with energy as Beats on Bates fills Bates Alley with free music, setting the rhythm for a season of community camaraderie. And if you’re up for a midweek workout, join us in Bronson Park for Workout Wednesday, where fitness meets fun with free workouts for all.
But the beat doesn’t stop there! Dive into the excitement of Zoo After Hours on the Kalamazoo Mall, where dance instructors will create a third space for our community to connect and groove.
June 7th and 8th are days to mark on your calendar, with Art On The Mall and Art In The Park returning to delight art enthusiasts across the city. Plus, get ready to celebrate pride at Arcadia Festival Site with the Pride Festival on the same dates.
The city streets come alive on June 8th with the uproarious DooDah Parade, spreading laughter and joy through Downtown. And don’t miss the first Concert in the Park on June 9th, where music fills the air and hearts soar.
Mark your calendars for June 15th, when Kids In The Zoo transforms three blocks of the Kalamazoo Mall into a family-friendly wonderland, celebrating the children of West Michigan.
Finally, close out the month in style at Arcadia Creek Festival Site with the return of the Kalamazoo Caribbean Fest after a 6-year hiatus, on June 28th and 29th, bringing the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean back to our city streets.
With so much happening in June, there’s never been a better time to explore and experience all that Kalamazoo has to offer!
