(La Porte, IN) - There was very good attendance for three recent events in La Porte.

 

About 1,000 people was the estimated turnout for the first Friday Night Live event of the season in downtown La Porte, which featured more than a dozen vendors serving people who came to hear live music and view about 20 antique vehicles parked in the area of Monroe and State Street.

 

“It was a very steady crowd. We’re quite happy with the way things turned out,” said Brett Binversie, Events Coordinator for the City of La Porte.

 

Binversie said he expects the turnout to be twice as high for the next Friday Night Live event, Taco Fest on July 5th, along with revealing that about 600 people attended a Neil Diamond tribute band concert at the Civic Auditorium last night.

 

La Porte Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber said the estimated crowd for the first “Arts In The Park” concert of the summer on Thursday night, which featured The Remedy playing in the band shell at Fox Park, was 1,500 to 1,600 people.  

 

“Everything went great. It was a wonderful night,” he said.
