About Performing at Top of the Park

Dates at Top of the Park in 2025 are June 13-July 6 (dark Mondays).

The majority of artists who play stages at Top of the Park are local or regionally-based talent. Only a select number of non-Southeast Michigan artists perform each season. The programming mix includes select community favorites as well as new talent to the event, spanning nearly every genre of music and street performances imaginable.

Compensation for this admission-free, all-ages series is modest. However, the performance experience, audience engagement, production values, and artist promotion make this one of the most sought-after gigs in the region. Currently, approximately 500 artists apply for about 95 openings at Top of the Park.

Whether you are a large ensemble, small combo, solo singer-songwriter, or circus performer, A2SF is dedicated to presenting the very best in open-air performances.
