The Concert of Colors invites you to join Michigan Lion Dance - a student group celebrating diversity through the ancient art of lion dancing - to experience the blend of martial arts and dance that tells a story of courage. Enjoy the rhythmic beats of the drum, the graceful movements, and let the lion bring you good luck, health, and happiness!

Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual global music festival, an upbeat event celebrating diverse World music traditions-including the indigenous music of the Motor City. The festival also hosts the Forum on Community, Culture and Race, a series of conversations with artists, cultural and community leaders examining the role of the arts in overcoming social barriers.
