It's never to early to hear about the Indiana State Fair, and coming up next year, this fun summer tradition will focus on - The Art and Nature of Fun. The current dates are set for August 2nd through Sunday, August 18th, and is closed on Mondays.
"We are thrilled to preview next year’s theme just months after wrapping our 2023 marquee event," said Cindy Hoye, Executive Director of the Indiana State Fair. "The art & nature theme reflects our commitment to bringing together the creativity of art and the wonders of nature to inspire and engage our visitors. We are so grateful for our neighbors at Newfields and are beyond thrilled to bring our community together and create a true Hoosier Masterpiece next summer.”
The state’s largest multi-day event is one we adore for all the entertaining shows and events, animal encounters and conservation, along with tasty food, music and more. Over 15 days, you can experience different activities, and share in the accomplishments of 4-H youth, and bands, which we love to see perform.
