Join us for Chelsea’s 37th annual summer festival: July 26-28, 2012

Welcome back! Our committee is busy planning another great festival weekend for the 2012 season. We are always happy to have volunteers who wish to help out in a big or small way. Please email our festival coordinator at info@chelseafestivals.com if you are interested in sponsorships or volunteer opportunities.

Sounds & Sights Festival (formerly known as SummerFest) is an annual summer festival in historic Chelsea, Michigan. The event started over three decades ago as merchant sidewalk sales and has since burgeoned into a highlight of summer that draws visitors from all over the state and beyond. The two-day, three-night event features live music and social tent, children’s entertainment and activities, a classic car show, open-air art market, and much more. This year’s event offers many new, exciting changes as well as keeping the tradition of old favorites that keep people coming year after year.
