Venue Details: Arbuckle Acres Park
As Brownsburg’s oldest and most centrally located park, Arbuckle Acres provides a natural amphitheater-like setting with grassy hillsides and shaded walking paths. The park covers approximately 52 acres and features multiple shelters, playgrounds, a paved trail, and access to White Lick Creek. For this event, the concert stage will be located near the center lawn area, just southwest of the baseball diamonds.
On-site public parking is available on the north and south sides of the park, including along the main entrance at North Green Street and via the Tilden Drive access point. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking and preferred seating locations, as space fills quickly in fair weather.
