Event details

Summer is winding down, and we’re celebrating with good eats, live music, ice cream and fun for the whole family! Join us at one of our southernmost preserves for Fun & Food Trucks featuring Mexican cuisine from The Grill’s Tacos and our fan favorite, Lil’ Deb’s. Route 66 Brewing will be on site serving beer while you listen to live music by Zach Foster. 

This event is sponsored by Old National Bank, which will be providing a free double scoop of ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s to the first 150 visitors. Come out and enjoy a beautiful night at Forked Creek Preserve!
