The purpose of Fun Fest is to bring the Detroit Metropolitan community together for a weekend of fun, music, fellowship and to support the construction of the Mariam Center Project.
The past success of the festival has helped the Basilica of St. Mary to purchase five and a half acres on festival grounds upon which the proposed Mariam Center project (a retirement and assisted living community) will be constructed. The Michigan Fun Fest will be partnering with local organizations and educational institutions, so the festival will truly benefit the entire community.
The Festival will take place on Merriman Road – between Six and Seven Mile – in Livonia, and will feature exciting entertainment that includes carnival rides, a casino, lots of live music, and many vendors featuring food booths with fresh exotic offerings. It will be a great time for the entire family!
The festival is a multicultural celebration that ties our neighboring cities together by offering an experience that is like no other in the Detroit Metropolitan Area. It is estimated that 20,000+ people attended the festival last year.

About the Capuchin Souper Summer Celebration:

In 1981, Edmund and Bettejean Ahee asked their children to help come up with an event to benefit our city’s less fortunate. They always reminded their children that they should thank God they don’t have to wonder where their next meal is coming from like many of his friends did. Edmund grew up near the Capuchin Soup Kitchen during the depression and many of his friends had stood in line for food. He wanted to create awareness for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and for the city’s less fortunate. Over 30 years later, the Capuchin Souper Summer Celebration continues to be held annually and brings together thousands of people and offers free admission, live entertainment, and a jewelry raffle each year. 100% of all proceeds from donations and raffle tickets benefit the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. With the help of all its attendees, the event has raised over $6 million since it began and has raised plenty of awareness for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. Amazing things can happen when communities come together!
