The Bulldogs band out of Fort Wayne has been a Decatur favorite for a long time and it’s hardly a surprise, given the enthusiasm and great music the four guys offered up Thursday night on the Madison St. Plaza.
The show and preceding Motorsports Festival wrapped up the Chamber of Commerce’s 13-concert 2025 series.
The double-sided event had been postponed two weeks earlier by a forecast of pending rain. The Bulldogs, as Chamber Executive Director Craig Coshow told the crowd, graciously agreed to come back.

Thursday night’s concert crowd was a bit smaller than it would been expected on the original night, and the number of vehicles for the car show was considerably down – no surprise given the rescheduling.
And this time the weather was perfect.
The Bulldogs rocked the plaza for two and a half hours with their music from the ’50s and ’60s, filling up the dance area in front of the stage – at times more crowded than it has been at any time during the entire season.
It was the band’s eighth consecutive year in the annual Chamber series. They were part of the first one in 2018 and have made at least one appearance on the plaza every year since.
