ST. CLAIR SHORES Proclaiming that “it’s like we’re getting back to normal,” Mayor Kip Walby thanked Petitpren for bringing its 30th season of Music on the Lake back to Veterans Memorial Park in June, July and August.
“It’s good to see. It would have been the 30th year last year, but it will be the 30th year this year,” Walby said May 3.
Greg Hillman, of Petitpren, said the company is looking forward to sponsoring the popular outdoor concert series at Veterans Memorial Park, 32400 Jefferson Ave., beginning at 7 p.m. June 9 with Teddy Petty and the Refugees, a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers cover band.

STERLING HEIGHTS The city of Sterling Heights is inviting the public to enjoy a variety of tastes and sounds on its upcoming Summer Thursdays, thanks to the return of its farmers market, beer patio and concert stage.
The Dodge Park Farmers Market will run 3-8 p.m. Thursdays between June 3 and Sept. 30 this year in Sterling Heights. The farmers market runs at Dodge Park’s large pavilion, near Dodge Park Road and Utica Road.
Organizers are promising a host of vendors who will sell fruits, vegetables and other foods. In past years, the market has sold food as well as crafts and other items. However, last year, the city opened the market in July, later than normal, following coronavirus shutdowns. And even then, the market limited vendors to ones who sold “essential food.”
