Concerts, festivals and graduations will once again return to Freedom Hill Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights in 2013 after a four-year absence.

The Macomb Township Parks and Recreation Department is hosting numerous free family fun nights throughout the summer, starting with a Movie Under the Stars on Tuesday, June 28.
The drive-in movie is a distant memory for many of us, but for one night next week, that memory will be alive and well in Macomb Township. When we were kids, it was weekend routine to grab some friends, jump in the family station wagon and drive to the drive-in movie theater. There, we would sit on the hood of the car and watch a movie outside under the stars. Now our kids can have that same experience at Macomb Township's Park-It Family Fun Night on June 28.
