More than 30 local sponsors have provided $126,000 in sponsorship to bring back community event, now in its 41st year
DEARBORN — The Dearborn Homecoming festival is not only making a comeback after a two-year hiatus, but local sponsors have stepped up in a big way. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud announced July 20 that the annual festival has raised more in sponsorship funds than any festival in city history.
The $126,000 raised to date is nearly $40K more than the 2018 festival, and $33K more than the total funds raised in 2019 — the last two years the festival was held.
“We’re incredibly grateful to see so much support from our business community,” Hammoud said. “This record-breaking effort speaks to the excitement of bringing back a cherished community staple after two difficult pandemic years, and the desire to revive the community feel that makes Dearborn so special. We’re reminded once again that the spirit of generosity is always alive in Dearborn.”
The Dearborn Homecoming Festival is set to take place Aug. 5 to 7 on the grounds of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave.
This year’s festivities will include carnival rides, food, free and low-cost family and children’s activities, headliner performances by Journey former lead vocalist Steve Augeri, and country music artist Randy Houser. Saturday and Sunday evenings will conclude with a spectacular fireworks show each night.
