Looking for fun, free live music in Noblesville this summer? The Noblesville Parks & Recreation Department has you covered. In addition to the previously announced Thursday night Summer Concert Series taking place at Dillon Park and Forest Park, the city is excited to announce the Federal Hill Commons concert line up for the season. Expanding on the inaugural 2017 season, this year will include two different free concert series, Concerts at the Commons and Flashback Fridays. Shows in each series will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. at First Merchants Pavilion.
“With the success of last year’s inaugural season, Federal Hill Commons hosted a Grand Opening concert and Tribute Concert Series, where more than 10,000 attendees enjoyed live music at the new venue,” said Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett. “We are excited to expand our free shows this year to give the community more opportunities to enjoy Federal Hill Commons throughout the summer.”
