Festival planning is under way, and festivalgoers this year can expect many of the same cherished attractions and amenities. The festival was established in 1980 and has been a summer staple in the city ever since. It initially began, in part, as a reunion for graduates of Dearborn’s high schools, and is now an annual tradition that draws visitors from across the region.
Homecoming has traditionally been one of the most important fundraisers for dozens of non-profit groups that serve the community. In addition to volunteering their time and talents at the festival, many of these groups raise funds to support their work.
The festival will be open from noon to 11 p.m. all three days. More details are forthcoming about entertainment lineup, food, fireworks, and other amenities. Follow the city’s official social media pages @DearbornGov for additional details as they become available.
