CITY OF WARSAW AND MAIN STREET WARSAW HOSTING OPEN HOUSE FOR FESTIVAL STREET DESIGN

Wednesday, March 18th
5pm-6pm
Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce (523 S. Buffalo St., Warsaw)

The City of Warsaw has retained landscape architecture firm, Anderson Bolander to design a festival street in the 100 block of North Buffalo St. in downtown Warsaw. Anderson Bolander will be conducting focus group meetings with downtown stakeholders on Wednesday, March 18th to present initial design concepts of the proposed festival street and obtain feedback. A public open house will also be conducted from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday following these group meetings. The open house will take place at the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce, located at 523 S Buffalo St, Warsaw. These meetings and public house will facilitate creating a final design that addresses any concerns and reflects what downtown stakeholders and the community would like to see.

Creating a festival street was one of the most requested public investments that came out of the Downtown Warsaw Cultural District Arts Plan which was released in November 2025. The design work by Anderson Bolander is the first step in creating the infrastructure project and will develop the design and construction estimates enabling the City of Warsaw to pursue funding.

Congratulations to Downtown Warsaw business, Rocksteady Pizza Parlour on receiving the Rising Star award from the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce last night!

Congratulations to our 2025 Rising Star Award recipient, Rock_steadypizza!

Founded in 2023, Rocksteady Pizza began with a simple but powerful idea: combine the elevated flavors of artisan-style pizza with the welcoming, family-first charm of the Midwest. The result is far more than a place to eat—it’s a place to gather.

In just a short period of time, this business has grown from a new concept into a must-visit destination. By focusing on high-quality ingredients, thoughtfully crafted recipes, and a commitment to freshness, every dish reflects care and creativity.

But what truly sets Rocksteady apart is the experience it creates. Designed to be vibrant and family-friendly, the space invites guests of all ages to stay awhile—whether that means sharing a great meal, enjoying time together, or stepping into the pinball arcade for a little extra fun.

Beyond its walls, this business actively supports the community by hosting and sponsoring local events, building connections, and giving back to the city it proudly calls home.

They have a bold vision, strong values, and momentum that shows no signs of slowing.

The Rising Star award is sponsored by Horizon Bank.
