Community Foundation Performing Arts Series

Community Foundation Performing Arts Series

Since 2010, the Community Foundation has hosted the annual Community Foundation Performing Arts Series at the Chris Wilson Pavilion in South Bend’s Potawatomi Park. This free series, which is designed to showcase our community’s best performing arts talent, is held on select dates in August. The series is made possible through the Community Foundation’s ArtsEverywhere Fund, and the Marjorie H. Wilson Charitable Trust Fund.

The series includes instrumental music, dance, theater, and vocal music, and is anchored by a full performance by the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. The Symphony’s concert traditionally includes a community “play-along” for local musicians, providing an opportunity for them to join the Symphony in a specially-commissioned piece.

Learn more about Chris Wilson, the multi-instrumental South Bend native for whom the Chris Wilson Pavilion is named.
