FORT WAYNE — The Three Rivers Festival has been canceled for 2025 after the board raised less than one percent of the $450,000 crowdfunding goal.
The board voted to file bankruptcy — citing debt run-up and challenges from last year’s event.
21-Alive reports that organizers will attempt to bring the festival back in 2026 with a strategy involving more volunteer workers, less marketing and entertainment that aligns with expected revenue.
Discussion also is focused on decreasing the overall length of the Festival from its current nine days with one board member saying that’s just too long.
Many are also calling for a change in leadership.
