We’d like to introduce you to Big Fort Fest! A brand new festival celebrating all things Fort Wayne. This new festival will be a modern take on a beloved event and time of year in the Summit City. We can’t wait to share this festival with you and see what it can grow into over the coming years.
Although we’re working on a tight timeline, our goal is to deliver an unforgettable experience in 2025 that the community will embrace and help make even bigger in 2026 and beyond. This year, the festival will feature three nights of live music from national touring acts, alongside classic festival food with food trucks and vendors offering your Fort Wayne favorites. Each day will offer fun for the whole family, with kids’ performances, a petting zoo, and plenty of free games and activities.There will also be a host of other affiliated events from past years that you’ve come to love and support in the downtown festival area. And don’t miss the new market on the west side of Headwaters Park, featuring art, vintage finds, and local makers every day.
Join us at the epicenter of the Big Fort Fest in Headwaters Park, July 10-12, 2025.
Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and our website for announcements to stay up to date with planned events and ways to participate in this brand new event!
