I love how Fishers use the Nicle Plate District and Amphitheater for so many free events from the Farmers Market from May-Sept. and events like the Blues Fest on Labor Day. Like tonight. Good music, food trucks and adult beverages. Just one more thing that makes this area special.

Night 2 of 2023 Fishers BluesFest! Last night, Jackie Vensom was my favorite. However, tonight is bluesy. Loving Queen Delphine & the Crown Jewels . Real blues music! Don't miss this two-day music festival running Friday, September 1, and Saturday, September 2. Both nights are free, and no tickets are required. Chairs, blankets, and coolers welcome. NO outside alcohol. All ages.I visited the Four Day Ray truck and enjoyed a glass of wine. There were less food choices than last year. There was Rib Express last night and a different BBQ truck tonight (Smokey Blue). The taco, burrito, nachos and churros truck was back tonight. The East side food area had hot dogs, Polish sausage & Jumbo dogs & Brats along w/ purveyors of snow cones from last night. Groomsville popcorn was in the performance area. Last night Mountainflower Concessionares provided kettle corn last night. I had some leftover, so I didn't buy tonight. Food trucks are self-service and there were few, so the lines were long. They did the best they could! Love @Matthew Socey, host of WFYI's hosting this event year after year! Add this to your list of Labor Day activities for 2024! The Fishers Parks team offers Spotify links to the performers music in advance.

I'm glad there's a nice amphitheater this close to Indy! Nothing screams summer more than a concert in a lawn chair. The sound is good, they have lighting design, they seem to run on time,and the crowds are always chill! It's a bummer it can be a bit of a drive, but it always seems worth it! Excited to come back for more shows soon!

This a nice open air venue in Fishers. It is relatively new, opening in 2018, and is a wonderful site to host music events, festivals, farmers markets or other special events. It is well maintained and has tons of nearby free parking. There are restrooms located in the back of the amphitheater. The venue is well planned and constructed. The amphitheater is constructed with acoustic walls, a big screen for movies and a new light and sound system. The amphitheater lawn is raised about 3 feet to provide better seating and views of the stage. There is also a 1,700 square foot pavilion that can accommodate 46 people and houses bathrooms and public meeting rooms. The grounds are immaculate, very well groomed and maintained. There are a few picnic tables with benches. If you are attending an event here, I would recommend bringing your own chair or blanket. Other items that you can bring are dependent upon whetter it is a free or ticketed event. For example, dogs and alcohol are allowed for free events, but more than likely are not for ticketed ones.This is an awesome venue that has many free family friendly events. Parking is also free. There is a fountain that doubles as a splash pad on site as well. It is truly a place to have a good time for everyone in the family.

I've lived in Fishers for 7+ years, but I recently went to a Friday night concert at the AMP and have been kicking myself ever since for not having discovered this sooner.I think one of the reasons I hadn't gone before was because I thought it would be overly crowded, hard to find parking, etc. And I found neither of those things to be true. I found a parking space right away, and it was free. There's a huge grassy area close to the stage, or you can sit a little further away if you don't want it to be so loud.Pro tips: No outside alcohol is allowed, but they have vendors on site offering beer/wine. My wine came in a flared plastic cup that allowed me to put it in the cup holder of my camp chair--brilliant! You can bring your own food, so pack a picnic dinner, or get food from any of the food trucks on site.Bring chairs/blankets, and don't forget bug spray!There are a few more concerts left this summer:August 20: Pink Droyd - The North American Theatrical Pink Floyd Concert with Laser Light ShowAugust 27: Uptown Funk - Tribute to Bruno MarsSeptember 10: Purple Veins - The Essential Prince Tribute BandHere's the website for more info: https://npdamp.com/176/Friday-Night-Concert-Series

This is a nice outdoor venue! I've been to the farmers market here many times and attended a concert here. The space is nice and well kept and it has space for one of the biggest farmers markets in Indiana. Perfect place to spend an evening. Any times I've needed to use the water fountains/bathrooms, they've been nice and it's super great that an outdoor venue of this size has an indoor bathroom option. I generally prefer to stay around downtown venues, but I'm glad this is here and is getting more artists to come through. If there's ever an event here, it's worth attending. Make sure to bring a lawn chair!

This might be one of my favorite new outdoor venues in Central Indiana. I had only been here for the Fishers Farmers Market, but recently came to see Ruston Kelly and Jade Bird perform (for only $10 I'll add). I love this venue because: - free public hammocks available in the lawn; - clean restrooms; - bring your own chairs and water; - very intimate venue without being overly crowded; - easy, free parking garage a quick 2-minute walk away; - feels like you're in a neighbor's backyard - it's not flooded with advertisements and signage and corporate-y vibes like most concert venues are nowadays; - Four Day Ray pouring fresh, local brews. Things to improve: - the variety of food trucks was underwhelming; - it was very, very loud and we were sitting quite far back. Maybe turn it down just a few notches next time so my eardrums are working when I'm older.

Nice venue for a family outing to watch some great live entertainment! It has decent parking and a good selection of food trucks. The grass is well cared for and it must be sprayed as I never had one mosquito or any biting insects bother me all night. The restrooms were clean and new - the only downside to then was the fact that there is only one soap dispenser and it's in an awkward place. We should also mention the band we saw - Pink Droyd a Pink Floyd Tribute band. Fabulous! Great light show! Great job!

This was my first time visiting the amphitheater at Nickel Plate. The location is convenient and in the heart of Fishers. It's surrounded by the library, police station, post office, along with shops and eateries nearby. I got there when the gates opened before the free concert put on by Spark! Fishers. Since it was a free event, I thought it might be crowded so I arrived early. We ended up parking at the library, but there are lots behind the amp and a garage nearby. There were two lots of food trucks. I saw tacos, pizza, chicken sandwiches, and tenders, hot dogs, hamburgers, and even tamales. There were also alcoholic beverages trucks at each lot. Outside alcohol is prohibited, but you can bring your own food and drinks. We brought chairs to sit in the grassy lawn, some had blankets as well. I also noticed a few round tables sprinkled throughout.The sound was pretty good. I sat close to the stage and could see really well. I had a good time and would definitely visit again for a concert.
