The Hawk's advertised Rock Around the Hawk series is scheduled to run from Sept. 4, 2026, through June 11, 2027. The free themed music mornings are intended for young children and their caregivers, though the schedule was not independently confirmed at publication time.
The first advertised morning is set for Sept. 4, 2026. The Hawk's Rock Around the Hawk series then lists one themed event each month through June 11, 2027.
The program is described as a free, drop-in series for children ages 18 months to 5 years. Each child is expected to attend with a caregiver.
That is the plan.
According to the event information provided for this listing, children can move through themes such as disco, country, Broadway, Motown and techno. The sessions are scheduled for the Black Box Theatre and are meant to mix music with games, crafts and themed dress-up.
Families should check the venue, times and admission details with the organizer before making plans. The schedule has not been independently confirmed.
The 104.9 The Hawk website identifies the station as a music and entertainment brand. In the material reviewed, it does not publish the children's series, a detailed calendar or information about the Black Box Theatre.
A separate Black Box Theatre listing identifies a venue in Elon, North Carolina. That listing does not confirm this program's age range or its series of 10 music mornings.
The listing also should not be treated as a City of Farmington or City of Farmington Hills municipal event. Neither local government is named as the organizer in the reviewed information. No connection to a Farmington-area public facility has been established.
Local families checking event calendars should compare the announcement with current postings from the Farmington Public Schools board, Oakland County administration and relevant Michigan departmental registries. A municipal or school partnership should not be assumed.
The format is meant to feel easy for families. A full concert outing is not required. Caregivers can bring young children to a themed morning built around movement, play and hands-on activities.
Those details remain part of the event description. They are not independently confirmed program facts.
Ten themed mornings are listed for the season. The series is scheduled to open Sept. 4 with "Studio Almost 4," a disco morning inspired by 1970s style. Children and caregivers are invited to wear favorite 1970s clothing and dance through the first session.
On Oct. 9, "Hawk Hoedown" is described as a country music session with square dancing, coloring and crafts. Nov. 6 brings "If I Could Turn Back Nap Time," a tribute to Cher and associated artists. The listed dress theme is glamorous, with music intended for a morning of dancing.
Broadway is scheduled for Dec. 11 during "Broadway Baby." Families can dress as favorite musical characters or choose clothing fit for the spotlight while the program plays show tunes.
The series then moves into 2027. "Toasty Man" is scheduled for Jan. 8. The event is described as a steampunk and raver-themed take on Burning Man, with visual elements drawn from Tina Turner's style in the Mad Max film series.
February's event is listed as "The Jackson I'm 5" on Feb. 5. It is presented as a tribute to Motown music. Participants are encouraged to put on their boogie shoes for a session focused on music that shaped a generation.
On March 5, "Windstock" is scheduled to pay tribute to the Woodstock music festival. The description names music associated with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and other icons of the 1960s and 1970s. Hippie-inspired clothing is requested.
The event description spells Hendrix's name as "Jimmy Hendricks." The artist's commonly documented name is Jimi Hendrix.
April 2 brings "Lily's Ren Fair." The theme combines performers associated with Lilith Fair with Renaissance fair clothing. Its "Tale of Two Fairs" concept gives the morning two distinct cultural themes instead of one musical genre.
The May 7 session is called "MoveandShakement." It is described as the schedule's most performance-focused date.
Based on Detroit's techno music festival, the event is expected to use neon colors. It is also described as featuring a live DJ techno set by Rock Around the Hawk resident DJ HOT SAMM, with time for caregivers to dance with their children.
Those performer and production details were not independently confirmed in the reviewed sources.
The season is scheduled to close June 11 with "BabyBjorn This Way," a Pride Month event. Its music is described as featuring LGBTQIA+ icons including Lady Gaga, ABBA, Elton John and Madonna. The dress theme calls for colorful, glittery and flashy clothing.
Rock Around the Hawk is presented as a recurring program, not a single concert or one-time festival. It is described as serving children in a specific early-childhood age range, with a caregiver required for each child.
The monthly schedule gives families 10 advertised opportunities to attend without an admission charge. The organizer should confirm whether registration, capacity limits or schedule changes apply.
The Black Box Theatre setting also shapes the advertised experience. Children would not need to remain quiet through a traditional performance. Instead, the program combines music with games and crafts to allow movement, changes in attention and hands-on play.
The available search results do not establish whether the venue is in Michigan or elsewhere. Caregivers should verify the exact address before attending.
The listed date pattern is Sept. 4 and Oct. 9 in 2026, followed by Nov. 6 and Dec. 11. The 2027 dates are Jan. 8, Feb. 5, March 5, April 2, May 7 and June 11.
Each theme includes suggested clothing. Caregivers can decide whether to take part in the dress-up element.
The schedule offers a playful and potentially accessible introduction to music programming for preschool-age children. The available evidence supports presenting it as an event announcement, not as a fully independently verified calendar item.
Before traveling, families should confirm the organizer, location, start time, accessibility information, cancellation policy and any age or caregiver requirements. The City of Farmington, City of Farmington Hills, Farmington Public Schools board and Oakland County administration are not identified as sponsors or hosts in the available material.
