This will be the first full Rock the Plaza series since summer 2019. In 2020, the event did not take place due to COVID-19. In 2021, Rock the Plaza returned for an abbreviated schedule in August after originally being called off due to the pandemic.
Rock the Plaza is sponsored by Sweetwater Sound; Beers Mallers Backs and Salin Attorneys at Law; Lincoln Financial Group; the Allen County Public Library Foundation; and Pint & Slice.
For those who are unable to attend in person, concerts will air on ACPL’s Access Fort Wayne, Comcast channel 55 and Verizon channel 25.
