Make Electric Works a stop on your Be a Tourist in Your Own Hometown adventure—and one of your musical destinations for this year’s music-themed celebration!

We’re filling Weigand Yard with live music throughout the afternoon, with three performances, a special guest appearance and one BIG surprise announcement at 3:30 PM that you’re going to want to hear in person. If live music in Fort Wayne means something to you, be in Weigand Yard at 3:30. We promise, this is one you don’t want to miss.

LIVE MUSIC IN WEIGAND YARD
12–1 PM | First Musical Set + Guest Appearance
1:30–3 PM | Tone Junkies
3:30 PM | BIG SURPRISE MUSICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
URB | Immediately following through 5 PM

Beyond the music, experience Electric Works through local stories, food and play. Grab a bite from one of the locally owned merchants at Union Street Market or a drink from Crane Bar, explore the campus, watch Electric Legacy: The Story of General Electric in Fort Wayne on the Stadium & Screen, and enjoy recreational activities in the historic GE Club Gymnasium for guests of all ages.

Enjoy FREE admission to 23 Fort Wayne museums and attractions throughout the day!
