This Sunday afternoon, beginning at one o'clock, The Philmore on Broadway and Soirée invite you to celebrate music, art, cuisine, and a grand old part of Fort Wayne, with the inaugural "Broadway Street Stroll."

Nine venues will be showcasing eleven local music acts, and participants are welcome to cover the route on foot, or hop on bicycles and buses provided for the afternoon. Street vendors and outdoor entertainers will be located along the way.
