Comerica Tastefest Cityfest 2008 Hits the Stage







Comerica Cityfest 2008 Hits the StageFourth of July Weekend
WEDNESDAY, JULY 2 - SUNDAY, JULY 611:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m (Wednesday - Saturday)11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Sunday)Detroit's New Center
Comerica Cityfest 2008, formerly known as Comerica Tastefest, will take the stage, Wednesday, July 2 – Sunday, July 6, for its 20th year of transforming Detroit’s Historic New Center into the city’s biggest and best summer festival. The 2008 festival will serve up another scrumptious slice of music, food and culture on West Grand Boulevard between Cass Avenue and Third Avenue.
Festival-goers will have more time to experience all that Comerica Cityfest 2008 has to offer this year with its new extended hours. The festival will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday.
The 2008 event marks the tenth year with Comerica as Title Sponsor making this partnership the longest running of its kind among Detroit area festivals. In celebration of the festival’s 20th Anniversary, Comerica presents Comerica Family Day, on Saturday, July 5, featuring emerging songbirds and pop sister duo, Aly and AJ.
Comerica Cityfest 2008 is going “green” this year by banning Styrofoam and promoting the use of more environmentally friendly options such as Green Safe products. The festival will also drastically reduce water usage through better distribution practices, offer festival t-shirts made of 100% organic cotton, recycle all cardboard waste, and use eco-green tote bags made of natural vegetable fiber for its 400 press kits.
Founded in 1989 as a fundraiser for New Center Council, the annual music, food and cultural event has been continually improved and reinvented. It was renamed Comerica Cityfest in 2007 to reflect the event’s maturing into a celebration of city life: a locally and nationally recognized cultural experience offering a diverse mix of restaurants, musicians, merchants, artists and children’s activities.
The purpose of Comerica Cityfest is to promote the long term development of Detroit’s historic New Center into a thriving 24-hour district. Admission to the event is free. “Taste” tickets are $10 for 16 tickets. Food and beverage purchased from the many quality vendors support the free entertainment at Comerica Cityfest, as well as the neighborhood services of New Center Council year around.
