Each year, Indy Parks and Recreation produces a full season of music, movies and more for you and your family. Featuring a wide variety of artistic styles - classical and popular, fun and romantic, hot and smooth - we bring it all to a comfortable outdoor setting near you. From folk music at Eagle Creek Park to jazz and blues at Watkins Park, there is a colorful selection of concerts and artists for all. Most events are free, and all feature gifted local and regional artists that you're sure to enjoy.
Eagle Creek Park's free and alternating series of concerts continues in August on Wednesday evenings at the Marina. A park favorite, Blueberry Jam, plays August 4 as part of the In Concert with Nature series and on August 11 Pharez Whitted, a celebrated Jazz Trumpeter, is featured at the Jazz on the Point series.
