Spark!Fishers festival set for June after pandemic forced 2020 cancelation
FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — The annual Spark!Fishers festival is coming back to Fishers’ Nickel Plate Cultural District after the coronavirus pandemic forced last year’s event to be canceled.
The festival will kick off on Tuesday, June 22, and run through Saturday, June 26. The theme for this year’s festival is Hometown Heroes, and it will honor Fishers residents who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and on the front lines of the pandemic.
“We’re excited to host these popular summer traditions to bring our community back together after a difficult year,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a release sent to News 8. “Our team is coming together to make sure we’re providing a COVID-safe environment while giving our residents a little bit of normalcy. Spark!Fishers is truly a celebration of our community and there’s nothing else I’d rather see than everyone back together again.”
A “full slate of summer events” is planned for the festival, including the Fishers Farmers’ Market, Summer Concert Series, and Spark!Fishers.
