Beat the Art Fair Heat (or Rain) at the Michigan Theater
Beer, brats, daily organ concerts on tap for July 15-18
Ann Arbor, Mich. – Once again, the historic Michigan Theater will become a refreshing entertainment oasis during the Ann Arbor Art Fairs on Wednesday, July 15 through Saturday, July 18.
Visitors will be treated to FREE organ concerts on the theater’s historic 1927 Barton Pipe organ at 1:30 PM each day. The talented organist line-up includes:
· Wednesday, July 15 Henry Aldridge
· Thursday, July 16 Stephen Warner

The theater patio will be open from noon – 8 PM on Wednesday through Friday and noon – 6 PM on Saturday for weary fair visitors looking for a cool seat and a bite to eat. Grilled bratwurst and hot dogs, signature Michigan Theater popcorn, soft drinks, and bottled water will be available for purchase, as well as beer and wine for customers with valid ID (no membership needed!). Guests can choose to enjoy their snacks at tables in the air-conditioned Grand Foyer – or, if they prefer to stay outside and people-watch, on patio seating in front of the theater.
Those looking to appreciate a different kind of visual art can pop into any of the theater’s current art house movies...which will play daily after 5 PM. They include:
