Our Community

Musicians and Artists

In our city, live music rings out from historic performance halls like the Embassy Theatre, from open-air riverfront pavilions, and from front porches and living-room windows. We have a thriving community theater, gorgeous museums, and a robust public art program. And since Sweetwater’s thousands of employees live and work in Fort Wayne, there’s a massive community of musicians, music lovers, and artists here.

Nature Lovers

Hike and bike more than 100 miles of trails, explore 80+ public parks and gardens, kayak on one of three rivers flowing through downtown, or wander through Fort Wayne’s unique historic neighborhoods — all while you enjoy the changing seasons.

Sports Fans

Catch a TinCaps baseball game in the country’s best minor-league ballpark, cheer on the Komets hockey or Mad Ants basketball teams at the Memorial Coliseum, or attend home and away games for your favorite college sports teams.

Foodies

From creole food trucks to farm-to-table restaurants, we take our food seriously! Fort Wayne is home to numerous food festivals; award-winning wineries, breweries, and distilleries; and year-round farmers' markets

Families

Consistently ranked as one of the best places to raise a family, Fort Wayne boasts a world-class, award-winning children's zoo; top-rated libraries; over 80 exceptional parks; bike trails; and a hands-on, educational science museum. Our schools are among the best in the state and offer magnet programs, college-prep curricula, and experiential learning opportunities for students.

You

Above and beyond the unbelievably low cost of living (not to mention a little relocation help from Sweetwater), there are countless reasons to consider the move to Fort Wayne. Get involved in clubs and organizations, volunteer, find a place to worship, and travel to cool spots in the region — Chicago, Indy, Detroit, and Cincinnati are all within easy driving distance — or book your next flight from our international airport. If you have any questions, ask us. We’re ready to show you why you’ll love Fort Wayne, too!
