Things to Do in Fishers Summer 2023
Summer is practically here, and that means it’s time to break out the roster of fabulous summer events! There’s already plenty of fun to be had around town already. Residents of Nickel Plate Station, apartments in Fishers, Indiana, already enjoy easy access to the Nickel Plate Trail and a short walk to top restaurants and retail spots. But in case you’re itching to fill the calendar with some special events, check out some of the top picks!
Concerts
#1: Community Concert Series at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater
Make your way to the heart of downtown Fishers at the NPD Amphitheater to enjoy a FREE summer concert lineup! Some of the hot acts coming in 2023 include Six Foot Blonde, My Yellow Rickshaw, and Groovesmash. You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages, but there are also food, snacks, and drinks available onsite. You’ll want to grab a blanket or lawn chair and get there plenty early because there are no reserved or permanent seats. Concerts kick off at 7 PM except for the July 4th special.
#2: Summer Concert Series at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater
The Amphitheater is not only home to community concerts but also a prime outdoor venue for other touring musical groups. On July 15th, you can see Ripe perform their Bright Blues Tour, or you can come back on September 8th for the Snarky Puppy – Empire Central Tour. You will need to reserve tickets in advance, but kids 2 and under get in FREE with a paid adult ticket.
#3: Symphony on the Prairie
Symphony on the Prairie has become a beloved ongoing musical event series at Conner Prairie. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) and other musicians will perform a wide variety of musical genres, and each event gets its own theme. Some of the highlights for this season include the music of Harry Potter, a special Indiana Jones night where one of the beloved films will be shown while the orchestra plays the soundtrack live, and tributes to legends like Whitney Houston and Queen.
