It did not rain on our parade Saturday as a large crowd gathered for the 2026 Spark!Fishers Festival.

The weather forecast had been a bit dicey, but in the end, nature cooperated and the rain stayed away from the Nickel Plate District.

As I made my rounds through the festival grounds in and around the Thomas A. Weaver Municipal Complex, I found families enjoying the many activities, attractions and entertainment the festival had to offer.

Here are some of the photos I took, providing just a flavor of what this year’s celebration was like.
