FunFest Fridays

Good Times. Every Friday.

Make the most of your Friday night at Wheeling Park with plenty to explore, taste, and enjoy. FunFest Fridays bring together live music, local food, family-friendly activities, and laid-back park vibes — all in one welcoming space.

Live music kicks off at 7 PM at the amphitheater, while food vendors, a beer garden, inflatables, and face painting keep the fun going throughout the evening. Come hungry, grab a bite to eat and settle in for a night filled with connection and community.

Park bench seating is available, but lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged — so you can spread out, get comfortable, and make yourself at home on the lawn.

Whether you’re stopping by for the music, the food, or a little bit of everything, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy.

Event Hours
6 – 9 PM
Live music begins at 7 PM

Come hungry and discover something new each week. Our rotating food tents serve up a variety of flavors — from backyard barbecue classics and quick summer snacks to Italian favorites and Asian-inspired dishes.

Looking for a quick pick-me-up? Stop by Café 1925 — proudly serving Starbucks — open during FunFest Fridays, for refreshing drinks and light bites to keep you going all evening long.

Let the sounds of summer set the tone for your evening. Each Friday, local and regional artists take the stage, bringing energy, nostalgia, and feel-good rhythms to the heart of the park. Whether you’re dancing in your seat or stretching out on the lawn, it’s the perfect backdrop for a warm summer night.
