The town of Arcadia will host its first Spring Market on Main from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25.
The festival, held on the town’s Main Street, will focus on local artisans and craftsmen. Attendees can shop booths with vintage pieces, hand crafted items and boutique finds. The event will also include food vendors and a scooter/car show featuring classic models by Arcadia-based Cushman Company.
“We are so excited to partner with Steve Lorenz, owner of Arcadia Cushman Company, to bring Arcadia a fun-filled day of entertainment and special events,” said Rebecca Marlott, committee member for Market on Main. “We hope everyone comes out to support our efforts to bring people to small town America!”
The Nickel Plate Express will offer rides during the festival, boarding out of Arcadia for the first time since beginning excursions this past September.
“When our equipment first arrived in Hamilton County each piece of equipment was unloaded in Arcadia, right on Main Street,” said Dagny Zupin, communications coordinator for Nickel Plate Express. “Taking part in Spring Market on Main and picking passengers up in downtown Arcadia is a great full-circle experience for our Nickel Plate Express team.”
The Arcadia Depot, a 150-year-old train depot, will host an open house during the market’s hours. The Spring Market will mark the first time the Arcadia Depot has been open to the public since the installation of museum panels and interactive displays, courtesy of an Indiana Humanities grant. Also featured in the festival’s line up is a Memorial Day flag ceremony by the Masons and spin art by Caravan Classes.
