While most people think of Spree as a fun event that happens each year at the end of June, a special group of Livonia residents has a very different take on this annual
celebration of Livonia’s founding as a city.

The members of the Spree Board and Committee (and in many cases their spouses and friends) work year-round to produce a memorable festival each year. The work involved is similar to running a small business, and each June, rain or shine, the show must go on.

The Spree Board and Committee would like to publicly thank and acknowledge the hundreds of folks who volunteer their time and talents to help produce a successful Spree each year. You drive the Shuttle vans, sell and serve the beer, help with set-up and take-down, assist in the Spree office, flip the pancakes, corral the kiddies, and do a zillion other things that are so very necessary.
