40th Annual Fort Wayne Newspapers

Three Rivers Festival!!

July 12 - 20, 2008

The Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival is an annual 9-day celebration of the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana community. Events include an arts fair, children's activities, senior's events, national acts, concessions, a marketplace and a parade which adds up to fun for the whole family.

The Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival will be 40 years old (Happy 40th Birthday!) in 2008. With an estimated attendance of 400,000 people, we are second only to the Indy 500 Festival in the state of Indiana. The Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival takes place at Headwaters Park in downtown Fort Wayne.

Eighty percent of Festival events are free to the public. Festival generates revenue from the following venues: sponsorship, vendor fees, ticket sales, gate admission at the event tent and beer sales. The Board of Directors strives to keep events free or at a low admission fee so that Festival is accessible to all members of the community.

The Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival continually changes events to keep up with the demands of the public. We welcome any constructive comments that you might have.

We hope to see all of you in July!
