Rhapsody is Elkhart’s two-day arts and music festival held at Island Park. It’s a weekend of live performances, local art, great food, and community fun — and one of Elkhart’s longest-running traditions.

Rhapsody takes place every year on the second weekend in June.

Friday: Music begins at 6 PM

Saturday: Performances start at 10 AM

All activities take place at Island Park and Lundquist-Bicentennial Park in downtown Elkhart.

The festival is free and open to everyone.

No outside food or drinks are allowed.
But you won’t need them — we have lots of food vendors serving up delicious options all weekend.

Yes. An on-site vendor will offer alcoholic beverages.
Outside alcohol is not permitted.

No pets at Rhapsody, sorry.
They’ll forgive you if you bring home a funnel cake.

Absolutely. Rhapsody is a great event for all ages, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the music and art.
