When the weather warms up, weekend evenings in Elwood revolve around the Jim Knoop Amphitheater. This ongoing summer event series brings regional bands, local talent, and food trucks to Calloway Park for free, family-friendly outdoor concerts. It is the perfect opportunity to lay out a picnic blanket, meet your neighbors, and enjoy live music under the stars without having to buy a ticket or travel out of town.
