2023 City of Frankfort Summer Events

FRANKFORT, Ind. (April 14, 2023) – The City of Frankfort announced Friday a collection of free concerts and events for 2023. These events are designed for all ages and interests and provide entertainment every resident can enjoy according to a press release issued by the city.

Community Development Director Kimberly Black stated, “This is always an exciting day when we can share the line-up of summer events with the community. The Parks Department has worked hard to provide various activities this season. Every year we evaluate how or where we can improve and what else we can do to bring more growth to our downtown district, and every year we see more and more patrons visit Prairie Creek Park. We are ready and excited to see families and friends gather together to make wonderful memories in Frankfort.”

Summer events will kick off on Thursday, May 11th, with the Frankfort Parks Department’s first Downtown TuneNight at Prairie Creek Park starting at 6:30pm. The Toy Factory will be performing on The Farmers Bank Performance Center Stage. Prairie Creek Park is located at 260 East Washington Street, Frankfort, IN, 46041.

“The Board of Works has been approving contracts for bands, musicians, and entertainment for a few months, and I am excited to see everything come together. Kaytianne has done a great job scouting for bands and providing a variety of talented entertainment for almost every genre, said Mayor Judy Sheets. “These events would not be made possible without the Redevelopment Commission and our event sponsors. Thank you to those who partner with us because, without their support, we couldn’t offer free events for visitors and our
community to enjoy.”
