If you live in the village, your summer probably has a rhythm to it already. A walk down Beverly Road at dusk, a Friday concert on the lawn, brunch at the Grill, a stop at Market Fresh for something to grill Sunday. What's worth paying attention to this year is how much of that rhythm is quietly consolidating around two places: Beverly Park and the shopping center at 13 Mile and Southfield. One has always been the village's front yard. The other is about to become something closer to a destination.
That's the shift worth tracking this summer. Beverly Hills has never really had a downtown in the Birmingham or Ferndale sense, and it isn't building one. What it's doing instead is layering more reasons to stay inside the village on a Friday night, and the additions arriving in 2026 make that easier than it has been in a while.
The 13 Mile and Southfield corner is getting a proper anchor
The Market Fresh–anchored shopping center at 13 Mile and Southfield has been a functional stop for years without ever being a reason to leave the house on its own. That changes with Supino Pizzeria's arrival. Dave Mancini's Detroit thin-crust operation, a fixture at Eastern Market since 2008 with a second location in New Center, is opening its third restaurant at 31201 Southfield Road in early 2026. It's the brand's first suburban and first Oakland County location.
The specifics matter for how the space will actually feel. The Beverly Hills restaurant is roughly 3,600 square feet, seats 80 to 85 guests with bar seating, and is expected to add about 25 jobs. Crain's reporting notes the possibility of an expanded menu beyond the pizzas, pasta, salads, and desserts the original location built its reputation on.
The reason to care, if you already live here: this is a full-service Detroit pizza institution putting its first outpost outside city limits at a corner most residents pass through several times a week. It gives the shopping center a night draw it didn't have, and it gives Beverly Park's Friday concert crowd a much shorter walk to dinner than a trip up to Birmingham or over to Royal Oak.
Concerts in the Park, with dates worth writing down
The Village of Beverly Hills is running its free summer concert series at Beverly Park again this year. Bring a blanket or a chair, and a food truck will be on site.
| Concert | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Concert 1 | Friday, June 6, 2026 | 7 p.m. |
| Concert 2 | Friday, June 26, 2026 | 7 p.m. |
| Concert 3 | Friday, July 17, 2026 | 7 p.m. |
| Concert 4 | Friday, August 14, 2026 | 7 p.m. |
Four dates spread across three months is a deliberate cadence. It's not a weekly grind that residents tune out by July. Each concert is a standalone event, which is part of why they draw well. Location is 18801 Beverly Road, in the park itself.
The park adds a second summer evening a few weeks later. The Village has a movie night at dusk at Beverly Park scheduled for Thursday, August 20, 2026. Title to be announced closer to the date.
What Beverly Park actually is when you use it as a resident
Beverly Park runs about 30 to 34 acres depending on which count you use, which is small by Oakland County standards. The density of what fits inside it is the point. Sand volleyball courts, baseball fields, tennis and basketball courts, an outdoor ping pong table that's rare for a park this size, paved and nature trails, a pavilion available for rental, and enough of a grade to make it one of the better sledding hills in the area come January.
The park also sits inside a small network of green space most residents underuse. Riverside Park holds the mill pond fed by the Rouge River, which is quiet enough on a weekday morning to be worth the fifteen-minute walk. The Douglas Evans Nature Preserve and the Hidden Rivers Nature Preserve give you two more short outings within the village boundary.
The Memorial Day Parade and Carnival ran for the 42nd time this year, stepping off from the east lot at Groves High School and finishing with a ceremony at Beverly Park at 1 p.m. and the carnival from noon to 2 p.m. The Halloween Hoot is already on the calendar for Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. along the Hoot Trail. The village runs a calendar deep enough that the concert series is only one piece of it.
Where the village already eats
Supino gets attention because it's new. The reason it fits is that Beverly Hills has quietly built a small, uncrowded dining bench that most residents rotate through without thinking about it much. A short list of what's already here, roughly in the shape of a summer week:
- Beverly Hills Grill on Southfield Road. Contemporary American, walk-in only, 80 seats, and by Hour Detroit's count around 3,000 brunch guests a week. Thirty-plus years in and still the default brunch answer.
- Bastone. Northern Italian in a converted home, house-made pastas, wood-fired pizza. The room that most feels like a neighbor's house you were invited to.
- The Hill Seafood & Chop House. Boutique steakhouse and seafood with a deep wine list, useful for an anniversary that doesn't require driving into Birmingham.
- Milano Bakery & Cafe. Pastries, artisan breads, breakfast sandwiches and paninis. The Saturday morning stop before a walk at the park.
- Brady's Tavern. Relaxed pub with craft beer and comfort food. The Sunday football answer.
Add Supino to that list in early 2026 and the village's dining map covers casual Italian pizza, Northern Italian trattoria, steakhouse, contemporary American, bakery-cafe, and pub without a redundancy in the group. That's rare for a community of roughly 10,000 residents inside a 4.25-square-mile footprint.
The cultural pieces most residents forget are here
Two venues worth remembering when you have out-of-town guests or a rainy afternoon. The Seligman Performing Arts Center sits at 22305 W. 13 Mile Road on the Detroit Country Day School campus and runs a programming calendar that punches well above what a school-affiliated hall usually does. The Ethan Allen Park Gallery rotates exhibits inside the historic village hall and is a fifteen-minute drop-in on a walk.
Neither is going to compete with the DIA for a Saturday plan. Both are the kind of thing that makes a small village feel less small when you use them.
The through-line
Put the pieces next to each other and the summer looks different than a list of unrelated updates. A concert Friday at Beverly Park, walked or short-driven from anywhere in the village. Dinner afterward at Supino once it opens, at the corner most residents already stop at for groceries. A Saturday morning at Milano before a trail loop through the park and Riverside. Movie night on August 20. A Grill brunch when you don't feel like cooking.
The argument, if there is one, is that Beverly Hills is finally building enough density of good reasons to stay inside the village on a weekend that the drive up Woodward becomes a choice rather than a default. A single restaurant at 13 Mile and Southfield doesn't do that on its own. Combined with a park that already carries most of the village's social calendar and a dining bench that most residents haven't fully worked through, it starts to.
If you own here and you've been meaning to write down the concert dates, this is a good year to do it. And if you're one of the residents who has been curious what the tear-down two doors down eventually sold for, or what a comparable house on your block would list at today, Rob Haber is happy to have that conversation on your schedule.
