As our nation also marks America’s 250th birthday, this solemn observance offers an opportunity to reflect on the values of unity, resilience, and freedom that have endured through both our greatest triumphs and our most difficult challenges.

On this 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families and communities forever changed by that day.

We remember the courage of our first responders, the selflessness of ordinary Americans, and the strength of a nation that stood together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we will never forget.

Fall is underway and we’re already feeling a little nostalgic for summer.

Before we fully turn the page on the season, we’re looking back at a summer filled with live music, movies, dancing, time with friends and neighbors, and so many memorable evenings together at The War Memorial.

We’re especially grateful to our sponsors - GJC George Johnson & Company, Kevin Hertel, DTE Foundation, Pointe Alarm, and Mary Ann & Bob Bury - whose generous support helped make these experiences possible.

And while SummerFest may be behind us, there is plenty more to come, from Second Saturdays & Halloween Spooktacular to our Holiday Traditions celebrations, and more.

We welcome businesses and organizations looking for meaningful ways to connect with our community to explore sponsorship opportunities throughout the year. We’d love to have you be part of what comes next.

Thank you for being part of our summer.

Kinda chic to make a Wednesday night feel like an occasion.

Join us Sept. 30 for Supper Club: Harvest Dinner, an evening celebrating the flavors and sounds of the season.

Begin with a fall-inspired prix fixe dinner from Executive Chef Joe Paxton, then settle in as The Aston Neighborhood Pleasure Club brings the spirited sounds of traditional jazz, hot jazz and early swing to our lakefront ballroom.

Good food. Great music. A table worth gathering around.
