Learn more about our quality-of-life assets:

Northeast Indiana is a region that showcases the creativity and talents of many different walks of life. That’s what makes our region one of the best places to live in the country. 

 Arts, culture, and diversity thrive here, and you can too.

If you’re looking for a glimpse at life in the region, here’s a short list of ways we celebrate the arts-and-culture scene in Northeast Indiana.

Eleven Ways Northeast Indiana Celebrates the Arts

1. We’re a destination for arts and culture.

The vibrant arts-and-culture scene in Northeast Indiana fills calendars quickly. The Northeast Indiana arts community is creating an arts-centric region that will advance quality of life and cultural growth. From galleries and museums, like the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, to exhibits and hands-on workshops, you’ll find the creative outlet you need to balance the workday routine.

2. We have a campus dedicated to arts and a district rich with culture.

Established in 1955, Arts United is the third-oldest nonprofit united arts fund in the United States and the second-largest arts council in Indiana. Arts United’s mission is to develop, coordinate, and support arts and cultural efforts in Northeast Indiana. On the Arts Campus in downtown Fort Wayne is the Arts United’s Auer Center for Arts & Culture, where you’ll find the Fort Wayne Balletthe Artlink Art GalleryFAME, the Parkview Physician’s Group ArtsLab theater, and administrative offices for Fort Wayne Trails and Arts United. The building also houses a public lobby and a cafe. This Arts Campus is just one part of the downtown Fort Wayne Cultural District.

3. We celebrate our diversity.

In Northeast Indiana, we believe in celebrating the diversity that makes our community richer. For example, Fort Wayne, located in the heart of Northeast Indiana, is home to one of the largest populations of Burmese residents in the nation. The cultural influences are found throughout our regional art scene, and we host a number of annual events designed to showcase Burmese culture through dance and art. And that’s just one example. From traditional Japanese folk dancing to Taiko drums, the Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates all things Japanese, and has for more than 10 years. There’s also GermanfestGreek FestArab Fest, and the International Village at the Three Rivers Festival.

4. Art is a part of our history.

If you’re an artist looking to make an impact on the art scene, Northeast Indiana is a place you can blossom. Art is our past, our present, and our future. Many renowned artists got their start here. In Adams Countythe Decatur Sculpture Tour celebrates public art and the charming city’s history as the birthplace and boyhood home of David Smith, abstract expressionist sculptor and painter widely heralded as the greatest American sculptor of the 20th century for his large steel abstract geometric sculptures.

5. Street art adds color and vibrancy to our regional downtowns.

No matter which downtown, no matter which sidewalk, when you walk around our regional downtowns, art abounds. Sculptures seem to dance, and vivid murals painted by local artists on old brick buildings add instant interest. One can’t-miss event, Sculptures on the Square in downtown Auburn, features everything from hand-painted wall murals to public artwork made of recycled plastic material.

6. We love art, especially on Fridays.

There’s something special about Fridays. The workweek is over, and it’s time to celebrate a weekend full of opportunity. In Northeast Indiana, there are a lot of choices for fun on a Friday night. If you’re in Wabash and it’s the first Friday of the month, it’s time for First Friday. First Friday celebrates the vibrant arts and music scene in downtown Wabash. Stroll the streets, listening to live music and touring local art galleries, venues, studios, and museums.

7. Amish culture adds a rural flair. 

Part of life in Northeast Indiana is seeing a horse and buggy trotting down the road. This is Amish country. In LaGrange County, Amish life brings great diversity to the arts-and-culture scene in the region. The Amish community’s handcrafted arts and crafts include everything from furniture to custom artwork. 

8. Art pops up on every corner.

Pop-up boutiques. Spontaneous live art demonstrations. Downtown art tours. Impromptu galleries in vacant buildings. Art is around every corner in Northeast Indiana. The more informal, the better. Art can be celebrated outside the museum, and that’s what our pop-up-art scene is all about.

9. Art is big business.

Our region embraces its history of creative entrepreneurship. Businesses, including Vera BradleyMudlove, and Matilda Jane, started in Northeast Indiana. This is good soil for creatives.

10. Craftsmanship flourishes with handmade products.

We like to make things. From Amish furniture to sculptures and animation to environments, we are a community of doers. We build things that last, and we build them with our hands. Take for example, our Sculpture with a Purpose and our hand-painted park benches. We have the courage to think outside of the box and to create something that matters.

11. The creative juices are flowing in the region, and you can influence this progress.

In Northeast Indiana, we live out our values every day. We keep things simple, treat people with respect, and help our neighbor. That’s how we’ve always done it. Transplants from larger cities often comment about how easy it is to find a fit in our midsize community. The same can be said about joining the arts-and-culture scene here. Wunderkammer Company regularly encourages exhibitions featuring new and emerging artists while Jennifer Ford Art urges new-to-town artists to submit artwork to introduce artists to the growing creative community. Plant yourself in the region, and get ready for a Hoosier welcome. 

While there is a small-town feel throughout Northeast Indiana, you’re never too far from one of our vibrant downtowns with great dining and an exciting nightlife. 

From farm-to-fork cuisine to specialty craft cocktails, our dining and nightlife scene makes life in Northeast Indiana exciting and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a glimpse at what life looks like in our area, here’s a short list of ways we celebrate our dining and nightlife.

3. Music flows throughout the region. Can you hear it?

There’s something to be said for live music. Whether it’s smooth acoustic music from the back of a restaurant or an intimate show at a local winery, we not only can turn our live music up to 11, but we can also dial it back for a quiet date night.

4. The show will begin in 5-4-3-2-1.

When it comes to sound quality, there is no better place to experience live music than in the great outdoors. You can enjoy a multitude of outdoor performance venues in Northeast Indiana. 

10. On Sundays, we brunch.

Brunch is that nice sweet spot in the day that’s a little later than breakfast and little earlier than lunch. It’s a time when you can unwind after a weekend full of adventure and prepare for a relaxing Sunday with family. From greasy-spoon dive restaurants to breakfast buffets paired with a bloody mary and a mimosa bar, Sunday brunch will fill your belly and your heart.

11. The food truck craze is taking over Northeast Indiana.

From lunch in downtown Fort Wayne to food trucks at First Fridays in Wabash, we love eating our food on the street. Somehow, it just tastes better. If you’re looking for a quick dinner and want to locate a food truck near you, we have a huge perk for you, you food-truck foodie. Dash n’ Dine is an app that helps you locate some good grub. The best thing about food trucks? Where there’s one, there are many, and that means more food—and fun—for you!

Cultural festivals. Foodie fairs. Car shows. Pet parades. No matter what kind of festival fun you like to have, we have an event just for you.

In Northeast Indiana, we love to throw a party. Simply add “fest” to the end of the name, and we’ll see you there.

There’s a lot to pick from, too. Here’s a short list of different types of festivals we host in the region. 

Eleven Different Types of Festivals in Our Region

Local breweries, wineries, and distilleries are scattered throughout Northeast Indiana, but when you want to find them all in one place, just attend any one of the many festivals in the region. Not only does a festival bring all the best local vendors to one place, but it also draws visitors in with its taste-testing atmosphere. At many of our local beer or wine festivals, you can taste as many samples as you’d like, and there are always discounted prices on nonalcoholic choices for the designated driver, too!

4. We’ve reinvented the average arts festival.

There’s unique beauty in handmade art, and in Northeast Indiana, our region is teeming with stunning artwork. We are shaking up your average art festival, too. How do live art demonstrations sound? You can benefit from our creative arts culture and any number of our region’s art festivals.

5. We love a parade!

We love any reason to parade around town. Whether you are showing off your classic car or walking your dog to benefit pooches, festival parades are a part of life in the region. The best part? You get to pick the festival that interests you most!

6. We’re crafty, and we show it.

We have many different arts and craft festivals in the region. But one very popular destination is in LaGrange Countythe Shipshewana Arts and Crafts Festival. The festival is a tribute to the crafting and old-fashioned culture in the surrounding Shipshewana countryside. Quilters, carvers, painters, cloggers, musicians, and crafters of all types flood the town and its many quaint stores, providing demonstrations and entertainment.

7. We are always celebrating downtown.

Our regional downtowns are full of energy and enthusiasm. When you there, you can feel it. It’s a good feeling too. Our downtowns are vibrant, and there are always fun things to do.

2. We take our hockey seriously. 

If you hear “Welcome to the Jungle” echoing from the Memorial Coliseumthe Komets, Fort Wayne’s hockey team since 1952, are on the ice, and they’re probably winning, too. Three years in a row the Komets won the Turner Cup, and each season their fans expect no less. Komets fans are dedicated. On any given night from October to April, the Komets play in front of more than 7,000 people.

3. There are ants on the basketball court!

Tickets are affordable, and a game is the perfect outing for the whole family.

4. Sports are a part of our history.

Since the beginning, we’ve been a community of risk takers. This innovation-focused mentality has led to some major influences in sports history. It all started on June 2, 1883, when Fort Wayne hosted the Quincy Professionals in one of the first lighted baseball games ever played. But our love for invention and baseball didn’t stop there. We made history again when the all-star pitcher for the Fort Wayne Daisies, Dottie Collins, inspired the cult-classic baseball movie A League of their Own.

5. We have a spot for you on the team.

Everyone has a place to play in Northeast Indiana, thanks to Turnstone.

Turnstone is one of the three largest U.S. Paralympic sport clubs in the country, and it is regularly awarded for its programming, too.

6. Cheer for your alma mater, and we’ll see you in the stands.

College sports are in our blood—after all, we are famous, thanks to the movie Rudy.

1. Reap the benefits of lakeside living.

Northeast Indiana’s lakes are unlike any in the country. Come find out for yourself! Throughout our 11-county region you’ll find crystal-clear glacial lakes with sandy beaches. You can have the best of both words: a condo in the city and a cottage on the lake, but you don’t need to own a lake house to relax on any of Northeast Indiana’s hundreds of lakes. Our lakes are publicly accessible for adventures and family outings alike. Whether you want to ride the waves wakeboarding or host a simple lakeside picnic with the family, our region’s lakeside adventures await.

2. Walk. Run. Bike. Commute. You can do it all on the trails.

Located at the confluence of three rivers, Fort Wayne’s scenic downtown and vast connected riverways provide the perfect recreation.

We paddle rivers, lakes, and reservoirs at an easy pace all over Northeast Indiana.

Travel to any number of our 11 counties in Northeast Indiana, and you’ll find a mountain-biking trail to quench your thirst for adventure.

If you are seeking adventure, join us, and let’s have one together.

7. Ready to experience a 30-second thrill ride?

A Northeast Indiana tradition sees thousands flocking to Steuben County for summer on the lake, but when winter arrives there’s another tradition—Pokagon State Park’s refrigerated Toboggan Run. The run features a 30-foot tower, exciting dips and valleys, and a total vertical drop of 90 feet over the course of a quarter mile. The top recorded speed was clocked at 42 mph, and you could  fly just as fast. After a long day of thrills, be sure to relax by a crackling fire during your stay at the park’s Potawatomi Inn Resort and Conference Center.

8. We embrace winter, and you will too.

In Northeast Indiana, we get active in the winter. The crisp air is refreshing, and when the fluffy snow blankets the ground, it’s the perfect time to play. Throughout the 11-county region, we have opportunities to explore winter’s natural wonders with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or quiet winter hikes. It’s really a magical time of year. Come feel it for yourself.

9. You can become a master of nature, and you can school your friends.

If you love to learn and have a passion for the outdoors, our regional educational programs can benefit you. Through the Purdue University county extension offices and in conjunction with our county park system, you can become a master gardener or a master naturalist. The intensive training in this education and volunteer program teaches everything from gardening principles to wetlands protection.

10. Find your muse just like famous author and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter.

The Cabin at Wildflower Woods lies nestled on the shore of Sylvan Lake, near Rome City, in Noble County. It is the beloved home and final resting place of Gene Stratton-Porter, one of Indiana’s most popular authors and one of the world’s first nature photographers and conservationists. With its wondrous wildflowers and cooing birds, the Gene Stratton-Porter home is the muse for many nature lovers, authors, and artists.

11. Camp in style. Camp your style.

Youth camp for the kids. RV parks for the retired. Equestrian camps for the animal lovers. Backwoods campgrounds for the experts. And even cabins and inns for the newbies. If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of life and connect with nature, camping in Northeast Indiana is the way to go.
