Water Hill Music Fest announces date for this year's event

In an email sent to supporters, festival founder Paul Tinkerhess announced that the festival will take place this year May 6 from 2-6 p.m. Last year was the first for the event, a unique happening which saw dozens of houses in a single neighborhood host informal mini concerts on their front porches while passersby wandered and listened.

"All residents of Ann Arbor's Water Hill neighborhood are invited to play music on their front porches during this unique celebration. Expectations are high this year after thousands of visitors attended last year's inaugural event," Tinkerhess wrote.
