After a successful inaugural event, Raising Hell for ALS is returning to Ypsilanti on Saturday, August 1, 2026, for another full day of live music, family activities, and community support, all dedicated to raising awareness and funds in the fight against ALS.

The weekend begins Friday, July 31, with a kickoff party featuring live music by Train Wrecks beginning at 7:00 pm, setting the stage for a weekend centered on entertainment and giving back.

Family activities kick off at 2:00 pm on Saturday with attractions for all ages, including rock-wall climbing, ax throwing, yard games, and other family-friendly entertainment.

Live music takes center stage under the grandstand beginning at 4:00 pm with Hotel Desperado, an Eagles tribute band, followed by Jackson Taylor and the Sinners at 7:00 pm.

Concert admission is $25 for attendees ages 15 and older. Guests can also enjoy a pulled pork dinner available for a free-will donation, along with refreshments for both adults and children throughout the day.

Organizers say every dollar raised will support ALS awareness and help fund the fight against the disease through the ALS Foundation.

Raising Hell for ALS is more than a concert it’s an opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy a day of music and family fun, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.
