Riverfront Fort Wayne is many things—a public park, a visionary organization, a community movement—all intended to help our rivers become a year-round destination in Northeast Indiana. We’re all about rivers because, in many ways, our rivers define us.
Our three rivers flow. They ramble and they roll; they roam and they rush. They rise. Their sound becomes a rhythm, becomes a beat—a heartbeat. They breathe life into our community. They breathe commerce. Adventure. And romance.
On these banks, we’re at our best—recognizing our past, but creating a new momentum. Forward. Our rivers brought us here. Today, we’re in the middle of a powerful story, and tomorrow looks even better. In Northeast Indiana and downtown Fort Wayne, we’re just like our rivers: Always moving.
