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.
