FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – A series of live music events are headed back to downtown Fort Wayne.
The Downtown Improvement District has announced that each weekend, June through August, there will be live performances at the PNC Plaza.
Experience live music all summer with the return of the fourth annual summer concert series, Downtown Live!, presented by Downtown Fort Wayne and PNC Bank. Downtown Live! will host free entertainment from local performers every Friday evening from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at PNC Plaza, beginning Friday, May 31, and extending to Friday, Aug. 9, except Friday, July 5.
PNC Plaza, which spans a portion of the western edge of the PNC Bank building parking lot on Main Street next to Sweets on Main, is an outdoor public space designed to connect the community to attractions, businesses and entertainment. The public space features outdoor dining tables and chairs, a life-size chessboard, Twister, bike racks, umbrella shade sails and Lyndy Bazile’s mural installation, Pontiac, provided by Art This Way, a program of Downtown Fort Wayne.
During this family-friendly event, dine or shop at one of the many surrounding local businesses while enjoying the vibrant heart of the city. Activated throughout the spring and summer seasons, PNC Plaza connects the public to access points throughout the city – from The Landing and Promenade Park to the Embassy Theatre and TinCaps Stadium at Parkview Field.
“We are excited that the PNC Plaza will again welcome thousands of visitors into the heart of downtown Fort Wayne by bringing a fantastic lineup of artists to our community,” said Corinna Ladd, PNC regional president of northern Indiana. “This free event attracts families and music enthusiasts, both young and old, and provides an opportunity to experience the arts and culture, while enjoying all that our great city has to offer.”
Street parking will be free after 5:00 p.m. For additional parking information, check out the Downtown Public Parking map or text PARK to 45364. For more information and a complete list of scheduled performances, please go to DTFWLive.com.
