What a day! ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our very first Creekside Revival yesterday!

Seeing so many familiar faces from our community come out to support us — and having most of our Creekside team back together again for the day — meant more than we can say. After everything this year has brought, it felt pretty darn good to see Creekside full of people, music, laughter and BBQ again. ❤️

And our team absolutely knocked it out of the park! We couldn’t be prouder of them.

We also owe a big thank you to the folks who helped us get Creekside ready for the day — Crawfordsville Outdoor for getting our grounds looking great, CELP for getting us powered up, and Busse Excavating for taking care of our portable restrooms. And thank you to all of the vendors who came out and joined us for our first Revival!

Huge thanks to Dirty Penny for an awesome night of music and to Mr. Octane for one heck of a halftime show! 🔥🎶

Yesterday was a pretty great reminder of what Creekside is all about — good food, good music and a really great community.

Thank you for showing up for us. We can’t wait to do it again! ❤️

Creekside is coming back. One Revival at a time.

We wanted to clear up a few questions regarding the car show that had been planned as part of our Creekside Revival event.

The decision to cancel the car show was simply a logistical one. Since announcing the event, the lawn where the vehicles would have been displayed has undergone extensive soil testing for the Creekside rebuild, leaving numerous drilled test locations throughout the area. Unfortunately, it is no longer a safe or appropriate place to park classic cars or have guests walking among them.

As we evaluated everything needed to host the event well, we felt it was better to postpone the car show than to put on something that wasn't up to the standard we expect.

We sincerely appreciate the organizers who were willing to partner with us, and we hope to revisit a car show in the future when the property is ready.

The rest of the Creekside Revival event is moving forward as planned, and we're looking forward to a great day with delicious BBQ, live music, and spending time with our community.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us through this rebuilding journey. We can't wait to welcome everyone back to Creekside.

🌲 We're not ready to reopen... but we are ready to welcome you back.

For the past few months, we've been busy behind the scenes with blueprints, engineering, soil samples, permits, and all of the work that has to happen before construction on the new Swick's Creekside BBQ can begin.

But we realized something...

We don't have to wait until the building is finished to gather at Creekside again.

So we're kicking off Creekside Revival—a series of special events that celebrate everything we've always loved about this place: great food, live music, laughter, and spending time together by the creek.

Join us Saturday, August 8 from Noon–10 PM for the very first Creekside Revival!

🎸 Dirty Penny live from 6–10 PM

🍖 Smoked BBQ all day

🍺 B**r • W**e • Seltzers

🌳 Co****le & outdoor games

👕 Limited Creekside T-shirts

✨ Dine under the tents by the creek or grab carryout to enjoy at home.

This isn't a fundraiser. It's a chance to spend time together in a place that's meant so much to our community—and to begin making new memories while we prepare for the next chapter.

📍613 Lafayette Avenue, Crawfordsville

👉 Click the event, invite a friend, and come spend a summer evening with us.

Until the new doors open, let's keep the spirit of Creekside alive.

We'll save you a seat under the tents and stars. 🌲✨

A few months ago, it was hard to imagine standing here looking at anything other than devastation.

Today, we're looking at a clean slate.

The Creekside site has officially been cleared and is now ready for the next chapter.

What was lost can never be replaced exactly as it was, but we have an incredible opportunity to build back something beautiful for our community, our team, and everyone who has made memories along Sugar Creek over the years.

We're currently finalizing plans and blueprints with local architect Judy Kliene, along with Roger Azar and the team at DES Civil & Environmental Engineering. Every detail is being thoughtfully considered as we work toward bringing Creekside back to life.

Our hope is to break ground this fall, be under roof by winter, and spend the winter and spring completing the interior so we can welcome everyone back to the Creek by Memorial Day weekend next year.

We also want to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by SWICK'S Kitchen & Emporium over these past few months for a carryout meal, a treat, a little shopping, or simply to say hello. We've loved seeing your faces, sharing hugs, hearing your stories, and being reminded every day just how much this community cares.

Your support has carried us through some of our hardest days, and we will never take that for granted.

And while we're rebuilding, we're also exploring ways to gather again sooner. We're working on plans for a few outdoor Creekside pop-up nights later this summer featuring barbecue from our old-school show smoker, cold drinks, and a chance to spend an evening by the creek once again. Stay tuned for more details.

The view may look different today, but the future is beginning to take shape.

We're rebuilding. And we can't wait to welcome you home to the Creek.
❤️
