Downtown Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne’s growing and energized downtown is the largest economic and business development sector in Northern Indiana. Several exciting new commercial developments and local improvements have created new opportunities for event attendees and visitors to enjoy.

Downtown Fort Wayne offers exceptional connectivity. Our Grand Wayne Convention Center is attached to two hotels, extensive parking, our Historic Embassy Theatre, Botanical Gardens and several other attractions via our convenient skybridges.

Downtown Fort Wayne is the area’s most popular dining and entertainment destinations. With dozens of restaurants and bars located just steps from the Grand Wayne Convention Center, Fort Wayne’s downtown offers a wide variety of dining and bar options for different tastes.

Downtown’s new crown jewel, Parkview Field, offers great baseball (and unique off-site activities) in a lovely park setting.

This stadium, named the #1 in Minor League baseball, is located across the street from the Convention Center and offers meeting planners an easy (and fun!) evening activity solution.

In addition, Downtown Fort Wayne is the home to our arts and cultural attractions, including dozens of museums, and a vibrant arts campus. Your attendees can enjoy live performances at the historic Embassy Theatre or Arts United Center and take in the culture of our city while in town.

Activities

Visit Fort Wayne strongly believes the convention or meeting experience doesn’t have to end following the business day. Fort Wayne offers many activities for groups of all sizes to enjoy either during the day or evening hours.

Take in a ballgame at the award-winning Parkview Field, home of the Fort Wayne Tincaps, or get your taste buds ready for delicious tours at the DeBrands Fine Chocolates or Olive Twist.

The Embassy Theatre and Fort Wayne Civic Theater offer fanfavorite shows throughout the year, while Glenbrook Mall and Jefferson Pointe Shopping Center feature a large display of popular store choices.

Want to visit one the country’s top 10 best zoos? The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo was ranked as the number-one must-see summer attraction in the state of Indiana.

With countless museums and other historic attractions waiting your group, we can easily offer suggestions to create an outstanding off-site itinerary.

“

Our recent national Operations Conference held in Fort Wayne was a resounding success!

The meeting package offered in the city was an excellent complement to our meeting needs and everything went very smoothly. We plan to return in the near future.”

— Brian Risley, SIRVA
