There is nothing better than wrapping up a warm summer day with fresh air and live music. This is the exact experience that can be found at any of the free concerts offered across Hamilton County throughout the summer.
These summer concerts take place at several locations across the county and provide the perfect environment for a vibrant evening. Whether you are a fan of grooving to the music, walking around to take in the sights, or simply enjoying the scene from your lawn chair, you are sure to find some excitement at these local shows.
Just this week, I attended my first free concert of this summer in Fishers. My family and I love to take part in the community and enjoy the electric atmosphere of these concerts. We walked along a short portion of the Nickel Plate Trail and ended our stroll at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater just as the concert was beginning. We ran into some friends quickly after arriving and spent the night on the lawn catching up with them and enjoying the live entertainment and beautiful weather.
I have many fun memories of nights spent chatting with friends or relaxing with my family on the lawn of the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers. The lively music and picturesque venues provide the perfect background for hanging out with a friend or spending quality time with family.

More Than Music
One of my favorite parts of these summer concerts is the atmosphere that is created by the groups of people who gather to enjoy an evening of live music. These concerts are certainly the place to meet local people and watch the community unite. Whether it is children playing games on the grass or couples dancing to the music, one of the many unique aspects of the scene is sure to bring a smile to your face.
These concerts are also a great setting to enjoy an evening picnic or snack spread on the lawn. Attendees are allowed to bring any outside food and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy while at the concert. This creates the ideal opportunity for a picnic dinner in the crisp evening air. Many of the concerts also feature several food vendors, who create delicious food and drinks to accompany the surroundings.
