A Fort Wayne dixieland band will perform Friday at Central Park.
The Northeast Indiana Banjo Society will perform from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The concert is free, and is part of the Warsaw Park and Recreation Department's summer concerts in the park.
Sam Tash, banjo player, said the band has been playing at the park since the 1990s.
"We always have good support in Warsaw, and that is a reason we always like to come back," Tash said.
Tash described dixieland music as improvisation where the musicians play upbeat music with how they feel rather than from a written score.
The musicians are from Huntington, Fort Wayne, Portland and Warsaw.
Warsaw residents Grace and Rick Lovelady play the saxophone and banjo in the band.
Other members include Eli Arnold on tuba, Mike Minch on the trumpet and Gary Bishop on keyboard.
