Fountain Square on Friday nights is the place to be for young professionals and all lovers of independent rock music.

This year, Indie Summer is partnering with MidPoint Music Festival, our region's most celebrated independent music experience. MPMF is celebrating its eighth year in September 2009, and you'll get a preview all summer long on the Square as three bands perform every Friday night from 7 to 10 p.m. Enjoy the end of your work week by kicking back on the Square and settling into the weekend.

Enjoy Abuelo's Mexican, Skyline Chili & Papa John's from our new food tent!

Special thanks to our title sponsor PNC, our presenting sponsor Bud Lt. Lime and our media sponsors Q102, Channel 5 & City Beat!

Indie Summer is followed by Singer-Songwriter/Open Mic from 10:00 p.m. to midnight.
