chairmans statement

"Since 2016, the Center Line Festival Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit, community organization has provided the very best, culturally inviting, entertaining and fun events for all! Our Festival Season always starts out with our Center Line Independence Festival and Fireworks display entertaining the masses the first weekend after Memorial Day. New in 2024 we partnered with the Warren Center Line Chamber of Commerce, the Warren Community Foundation and the City of Warren, to add Cruisin’ 53 Car Cruise and Car Show to the weekend’s activities. Tens of thousands of people visit each year to enjoy 3 days of free, live music from some of the Metro-Detroit area’s best bands, food trucks, craft vendors, bounce houses, a petting zoo, a carnival, fireworks, beer tent and much more! In September, our Beerfest boasts an assortment of domestic, and craft beers, free live music and food trucks and in October, our Halloweentown event is sure to please adults and children of all ages with one of the area’s largest Trunk or Treats, Haunted Houses, Hay Rides to a Pumpkin Patch and more all free thanks to our sponsors, business partners, volunteers, residents, and the City of Center Line. It is our hope that, as the Center Line Festival Foundation grows, we can continue to provide families from all over the region with fun and entertaining events that will create lasting memories for all who visit our “Small Town Lifestyle in the Heart of Metro-Detroit."
