Concerts at Broad Ripple Park
In partnership with Indy Parks, Forty5 is proud to present a summer concert series at Broad Ripple Park.
Originally established in 1822, Broad Ripple Park has a rich history as White City Amusement Park, Indy's version of Coney Island in the early 1900's, and the park later hosted the Olympic swimming trials in 1924 and 1952.
Today, the 62-acre park offers diverse recreational activities and continues to be a cherished community space visited by approximately 175,000 people annually.
Extending the work it does at Holliday Park and Rock the Ruins, Forty5 is proud to expand it's summer concert series to now include Broad Ripple Park.

Broad Ripple Park
Broad Ripple Park, located on the northeast side of Indianapolis along the White River, has a rich history of transformation from a 19th-century farm to a bustling amusement park, and now a vibrant city park.
Initially established in 1822 by Jonas Huffman, the area became a popular picnic spot and later, a retreat for Indianapolis residents with the arrival of electrified streetcars in the 1890s. Its heyday as White City Amusement Park began in 1906, featuring attractions like a grand swimming pool, a boardwalk, and unique exhibits inspired by Coney Island.
Despite a devastating fire in 1908, the park's pool remained a centerpiece, hosting Olympic swimming trials in 1924 and 1952.
Over time, Broad Ripple Park evolved under various owners, adding amenities like athletic fields and a roller coaster before the City of Indianapolis acquired it in 1945.
Today, the 62-acre park offers diverse recreational activities and continues to be a cherished community space visited by approximately 150,000 people annually.
