May is Jam Packed with Fun Family Things-to-do in Fort Wayne
What to do in Fort Wayne
May is an event filled month in Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana. It’s a great time to be an apartment dweller and have those extra hours in your life that you don’t have when you’re taking care of a house and yard all weekend.
I’ve made a chart of some of the May events, because there are just too many to talk about. We’ve still got tournament playoff hockey going on with the Komets, Baseball downtown, two major holidays, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. Major concerts, of course, and even something new to Fort Wayne, the first ever Appleseed Comics and Art Convention, a little bit of ComicCon right here in the Fort.
Or you might want to check out the pets at the Northern Indiana Pet Expo at the Coliseum. You know, of course, that Willow Creek Crossing Apartments does accept small pets, so this show can help you pick out the small dog or cat that will best fit into your apartment lifestyle.
Don’t forget ongoing things to do, like the Zoo, walking paths, and state parks, like Pokagan just 45 minutes north of town. And, of course, on May 25th, there’s the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500 in Indy.
Also in May, we celebrate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French on May 5th, 1986. And since someone asked me the other day when Cinco de Mayo was this year, I will let you know that Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on May 5 every year. And if you’re advance planning for July, July 4th will be celebrated on July 4th again this year. Have fun.
