Stars & Stripes Festival
60 Second Crush Jill Jack The Muggs Sponge

This weekend, downtown Mt. Clemens will host the Stars & Stripes Festival, an event that sees local and internationally renown artists, and in some cases both, take over the east-side suburb for three days. All to honor and support our American troops overseas.

Hair-metal heroes Skid Row and LA Guns are scheduled to appear on Friday and Sunday respectively, while the classic 1960’s local legend Mitch Ryder is set to play Friday and Detroit’s own alternative rock spear-head Marshall Crenshaw is scheduled for musical duties Saturday.

With the likes of Everclear, Candlebox and Jonny Lang also on the bill, the Stars & Stripes Festival promises to be quite a weekend.

Here are four of the local highlights that definitely shouldn’t be missed.
