Warm weather marks the start of Indiana's farmer's market, festival and parade seasons.
Indiana is home to many farmer's markets during the spring and summer months, giving residents a chance to support local farmers and enjoy locally grown produce and handmade goods.
Our farmers work hard to support the economy and are the reason Indiana was again ranked as one of the nation's top agricultural states.
Attending a local farmer's market is a great way to say thank you to Hoosier farmers, support local businesses and taste some of the food grown here in Indiana.
The Indiana Farmer's Market Community of Practice provides a list of all farmer's markets across Indiana. To find a nearby market, click here.
Cities and towns across Indiana are also hosting many festivals and parades for community members to enjoy during the spring and summer.
The Indiana State Festivals Association creates a guide showcasing many of the festivals held across the state. This year's 2024 Indiana Festival Guide can be found by clicking here.
Among the hundreds of festivals and parades, one of the most prominent is the Indiana State Fair, taking place this year from Aug. 2 – 18 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The state fair has become a beloved Indiana tradition and is a great way to bring Hoosiers across the state together.
Aside from festivals, parades and farmer's markets, Indiana hosts many other activities and events during the warm weather season that allow residents to get outside and enjoy our great state. View more ways to explore Indiana by clicking here.
