H.J. Ricks Centre for the Arts 

If the big screen (and stage) is more up your alley, H.J. Ricks Centre for the Arts is the place to be. Make sure you get your tickets ahead of time for unique events like the showing of the silent film, “Ben Hur,” presented by the James Whitcomb Riley Boyhood Home, and Crazy Lake Acting Company’s thrilling rendition of “Clue.”

Greenfield Parks 

As the hot summer days start cooling down into cozy autumn nights, there is no better place to enjoy the arts than outside. Whether you are looking for a fun day out with the family covering Riley Park with chalk art or an adult-only night out at “prom,” there is something for everyone in Greenfield Parks. 

Downtown Greenfield 

If it’s live music you are looking for, downtown Greenfield has you covered this fall. With an entertainment and rock tent, there will be something for everyone at the Riley Festival. The Riley Festival also serves as one of the largest craft festivals in Indiana, so make sure to check out the incredible artwork on display from across the state. 

James Whitcomb Riley Boyhood Home

Halloween is a time for tricks and treats, but also the arts! If you are looking to step up your jack-o’-lantern carving game this year, look no further than the Jack-O’-Lantern Festival and Workshop hosted by the James Whitcomb Riley Boyhood Home.  

New Palestine 

New Palestine, Indiana is another arts hotspot to check out as they usher out the last rays of summer sun and welcome the cool autumn breeze. You won’t want to miss the chance to dance the night away at the final Music on the Depot event and maybe pick up a new hobby at the 7th Annual Arts and Crafts Fair.

Fortville 

Fortville, Indiana has a wide variety of arts events this fall that promise fun for all ages. If you are looking for live music, get your tickets now to see the Mystery Train Band or Westward Road in concert.

To finish off the summer season, don’t miss Kammy’s Kause, an all-day music festival to raise funding and awareness for 4p- research.
