Picture this summer, a band playing live atop the Depot parking garage, with 2,000 people on hand.  Fishers Director of Parks & Recreation Tony Elliot told the Parks Advisory Committee that such an event is being discussed with the Depot management.

Elliot told the board to expect the Tuesday and Friday night music concerts at the downtown Amphitheater to continue this summer, but the city is looking at some new ideas for the summer of 2016.

“We’re kind of mixing it up,with a lot of new things downtown this summer,” Elliot said.  “We’re looking for some different venues at the Switch and the Depot (2 properties located on the city complex, near the Amphitheater), including bands at some different locations.”

Elliot told LarryInFishers the full schedule of events slated for the Amphitheater, as well as other venues downtown, should be released early in April.

In other items before the Advisory Committee, there was a lengthy discussion of usage for the athletic fields.  There was also an extensive discussion about the lack of parking at Brook School and Harrison-Thompson Parks.  Elliot said the city engineering department has some recommendations to make, that will be discussed at the next meeting.
