Overview
Join us outdoors on our Tube Factory campus in Terri Sisson Park located at 1125 Cruft Street. Concerts will be moved inside Tube Factory artspace in the case of bad weather (rain, storms, extreme heat). We’ll announce this change on the morning of the concert. But the shows will always happen — just outside or in.
What: Free multi-genre outdoor concerts and creative community gatherings April through October.
Why: To bring additional liveliness to our neighborhood with free outdoor music experiences and fun, and creative social gatherings.
Who: Arte Mexicano en Indiana and Big Car are collaborating as well as teaming up with local and national musicians, local vendors, artists, poets and our neighborhood partners. And we’re super grateful for very generous sponsorship support for the 2025 series from the Levitt Foundation, Efroymson Family Fund, and the MIBOR Realtor Association.
