Seasons, Festivals & Events
All seasons, all fun. From skiing in French Lick (yes there’s skiing and snow sports in Indiana) in the winter, to following the winding roads in the fall when autumn colors explode, spring in the many botanical gardens dotting the state and glorious summer on the beaches of Lake Michigan and the seemingly countless small lakes, boating and fishing, all seasons offer plenty to do.
Food and Festivals
Get a taste of Hoosier cuisine (don’t laugh) by attending such wonderful events as the Whiting Pierogi Festival. It’s homage to those little stuffed pockets of fried dough which has morphed into one of the largest fests in the country.
Watch sorghum made the old fashioned way during the Crawford County Sorghum Festival. Celebrate persimmons, the ripe tart fruit that becomes sweet when cooked at the Persimmon Festival, one of the oldest celebrations in the country. Or join a half million people during Indianapolis 500 weekend for parades, carousing and watching the cars whiz by at tremendous speeds.
