Wright Museum of African American History, Hellenic Museum of Michigan, Scarab Club, Detroit Historical Society Auditorium, Carr Center, DSO, Third Man Records, University of Michigan Detroit Center, and Michigan Science Center among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Concert of Colors celebrates its 31<sup>st<\/sup> year as Detroit\u2019s largest, free, inclusivity festival, we have made the decision to go back to the festival\u2019s roots \u2013 hosting it primarily outdoors,\u201d Festival Founder Ismael Ahmed said. \u201cThe festival once again brings the most talented musicians from their respective countries into Detroit to offer the region a chance to hear music from around the world. Historically the festival also provides artists an opportunity to perform at one of the most iconic festivals in the Midwest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While several stages, including the main, will be held on the lawn of the DIA, additional events will take place indoors including at the Detroit Film Theatre, said DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Detroit Institute of Arts is thrilled to host the 31st Annual Concert of Colors this year, featuring an incredible lineup of renowned global artists,&#8221; stated DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons. &#8220;The festival has always been a vibrant celebration of diversity, and having it take place at the DIA &#8211; both indoors at the Detroit Film Theatre and outdoors on two stages &#8211; free of charge, is a true highlight of the summer in Detroit. Witnessing concertgoers engaging in meaningful and friendly dialogues while showcasing the immense talent of musicians from around the world is what makes this Concert truly special. It&#8217;s no wonder that it has become one of the longest-running festivals in Detroit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Along with the music, Concert of Colors will again also offer forums, global cuisine, merchandise vendors, movies, children\u2019s activities, conversations on culture and race, and much more. Food truck rallies will be placed on Farnsworth Street.<\/p>\n<p>The upbeat, five-day festival unites metro Detroit\u2019s diverse communities and ethnic groups through music, dance and art from around the world \u2013 and creates a dialogue where participants embrace freedom of expression. Over its significant 30-year history, the festival has strategically grown into a celebrated, beloved summer festival &#8211; one of the few remaining large-scale, free-admission music festivals in the area. Every year, the anticipation of who will perform in the lineup creates excitement among music fans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6976 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cirque3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cirque3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cirque3.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The Concert of Colors is a labor of love for Ahmed -who was recently appointed to the National Council on the Arts by President Joe Biden. He is also the former head of what is now the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under former Governor Jennifer Granholm and is co-founder of ACCESS and the Arab American National Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Concert of Colors was launched by New Detroit Inc., with Ismael Ahmed as chair of its Cultural Exchange Network to create dialogue and bridge cultural differences through art, music and discussion in response to the 1982 racial murder of Chinese American Vincent Chin. Since then, forum conversations on culture and race are held at the festival annually by the Arab American National Museum. The forum is a conference featuring presentations and discussion among artists, people connected to cultural institutions and community leaders to examine the role of arts and culture in overcoming racial and ethnic barriers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6977\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6977\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6977 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DonWas-300x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DonWas-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DonWas.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don Was<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The inaugural festival drew a modest crowd to\u00a0Detroit\u2019s then-Chene Park on the Detroit River, but by 1999, tens of thousands of attendees were coming out each year. The festival expanded to three days in 2001, when it was part of the official festivities for Detroit\u2019s 300th birthday, drawing an audience of 100,000. In 2019, the concert expanded\u00a0to nine festive days. The festival went virtual during Covid-19 with bands from around the world performing from their respective countries: Cuba, Ukraine, Japan, and more.
