There’s something truly special about a small town where you can park your car, walk down Main Street, hear music drifting through the air, see familiar faces around every corner, and spend the day supporting the neighbors who make our community such a wonderful place to call home.

This Saturday, before we all gather at Landmark Park for our Community Fireworks Celebration (*2026's version of "SummerFest"), we invite everyone to make a day of it right here in Fortville.

☀️ Start your morning with breakfast or coffee.
🛍️ Explore our locally owned shops and discover something new.
🍽️ Enjoy lunch, dinner, or a sweet treat from one of our amazing restaurants.
🎶 Enjoy live music and entertainment happening around town.
😊 Slow down, say hello, and connect with your neighbors.
💛 Support the small businesses that work every day to make Fortville vibrant, welcoming, and full of life.

Every purchase matters. Every visit matters. Every conversation, smile, and shared experience helps strengthen the community we’re building together.

Whether you’ve called Fortville home for generations or you’re new to town, this is what makes our community special—a walkable downtown, locally owned businesses, great food, live entertainment, family-friendly events, and neighbors who truly care about one another.

Support Those Who Served
Stop by American Legion Post 391 or VFW Post 6904 to learn about upcoming events and opportunities to support our local veterans and military families. Strong communities honor those who serve.

Our local businesses are more than places to shop, eat, or gather—they are owned by our friends, neighbors, and families. They are where friendships are formed, celebrations happen, memories are made, and our community comes together.

This Saturday, let’s fill our sidewalks, restaurants, patios, and shops with smiling faces before we all gather under the night sky for another unforgettable Fortville tradition.

💛 Shop Local. Eat Local. Drink Local. Walk Main Street. Celebrate Together. 💛

Because that’s what small-town community is all about.

We’ll see you Saturday at Landmark Park for the fireworks! 🎆

CommUNITY Strong. Fortville Proud.
