To prevent overpaying for Foellinger Theatre tickets on a ticket scalping site, we recommend that patrons go directly to www.foellingertheatre.org and click on “Purchase Theatre Tickets.” That link will lead patrons to a list of concerts with their correct ticket prices and a seating chart, as well as an option to purchase directly from the Parks & Recreation Department. Tickets may also be purchased by calling the Parks & Recreation office at 260-427-6000 or by visiting 705 East State Blvd., Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Several free concerts will be held at Foellinger Theatre this season as well, including the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Youth Symphony, the 38th Infantry Division Band, the Fort Wayne Area Community Band and the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir.

Foellinger Theatre will also feature eight FREE, family-friendly Harry Potter movies this summer beginning June 14. We’re excited to be able to show the movies at 7:30 p.m., a much earlier time, often requested by families with young children.

I continue to be encouraged by the quality of life amenities that we’re able to provide in Fort Wayne. The Foellinger Theatre Concert Series assists us in our efforts as a point of destination for individuals and families to enjoy activities and experience the momentum and investments we’re seeing in our community.
