After deliberate and in-depth discussions with staff, performers, stakeholders, and community leaders, we decided to move ParksFest Music Festival indoors to Old National Events Plaza, 715 Locust St. in Downtown Evansville. With the increased risk of rain and storms from the tropical storm hitting land now, we cannot endanger ParksFest attendees, performers, volunteers, vendors, and staff. Old National Events Plaza graciously stepped up to ensure this event is safe and remains FREE for the community. This was not possible without the help of Amy Word-Smith.
ParksFest is still FREE. The event is still 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. People are free to come and go as they please. The band schedules remain the same. We still have free kids activities, including face-painting, bounce houses and music workshops. We still have a great list of food trucks and market vendors. This decision was not easy, but we think it’s best to ensure our community gets a day of free music all day. We can’t wait to see everyone at Old National Events Plaza this Saturday.
