Festivals, fairs, concerts, markets, game days, and seasonal plans
Festivals, fairs, concerts, markets, race weekends, food events, and local traditions worth building an Indiana weekend around.
The Indiana event calendar has a spine you can plan around. The Indy 500 takes Memorial Day weekend. Gen Con brings more than 70,000 gamers into downtown Indianapolis. The county fair circuit runs through midsummer, and the festivals carry the rest of the year: the Elkhart Jazz Festival, Fort Wayne GermanFest, the Kokomo Strawberry Festival, and WAMMfest in Greenwood.
Timing is most of the job. Race week in Speedway has its own rules, Carb Day and the Snake Pit included. Fall belongs to the fairs, the festivals, and Brown County. Winter is lights and indoor events. Check the date, the parking, and the official listing before you leave, then filter by region to see what else is on that weekend nearby.
