Guy Foreman Amphitheatre

"The Guy Foreman Amphitheatre in Washington Park has swiftly become one of my favorite spots since moving to the area. The weekly Thursday night municipal band concerts are the highlight of my summer, offering a delightful blend of music, community spirit, and outdoor enjoyment—all within walking distance of my home. These free concerts are a testament to Michigan City's community pride, and the fact that they've been a staple for well over 150 years speaks volumes about their enduring appeal. The setting, an open-air amphitheater nestled in beautiful Washington Park, is an idyllic backdrop for the quality music performances. One of the things I particularly enjoy about these concerts is the variety. Each performance features a unique and varied set list, ensuring every evening is a fresh musical journey. The band often invites special guest performers, including vocalists and members of the "President's Own" military band, adding an extra dimension to the performances. But it's not only the music that makes these events special. The sense of community is palpable, and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. As an added bonus, the last performance of the season included a surprise pie giveaway, organized by a long-time band member. I was fortunate enough to win one, and it was as delicious as the music! In conclusion, the Guy Foreman Amphitheatre and its weekly municipal band concerts are a true gem of Michigan City. They represent a wonderful blend of music, community, and the joy of summer evenings spent outdoors. I'm eagerly looking forward to next season's offerings and would highly recommend these concerts to both locals and visitors alike."

"Great place for music. Very close to the Senior Center. Sometimes you can sit in your car in Fedders Ally and listen to the music."

"It’s a lovely place but parking is a bit tough and I did not see any designated disabled parking spots, although I was on the curve on the hill and not in the lot by the beach which was full. I believe the lot does have disabled spots."

"This is a great, comfortable, and modern venue whether you’re watching the Michigan City Municipal Band or a rock concert. It’s a gigantic upgrade from the historic but old gazebo also in Washington Park that had benches or lawn chairs for seating."

"Even though we had some terrible weather the band's played on and made it one of the greatest evening of the year thus far."
