The Meadow Brook Music Festival is an outdoor pavilion music venue, located at 3554 Walton Boulevard in Rochester Hills, Michigan on the campus of Oakland University.[1]

History

Opened in 1964, Meadow Brook Music Festival was the summer residence of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for its first four seasons. It has since become a venue for various concerts and shows. The venue came under the management of Palace Sports and Entertainment in 1994.[2]

Barns

The two remaining of the 10 original barns on Meadow Brook Estate have been situated on what is currently the Meadow Brook Music Festival grounds since they were relocated from their original site in 1935. In 2014, one of the barns was restored while the other was torn down. Both were originally constructed around the 1910s.[3]
