Indiana Peony Festival
It’s official: Spring is finally here! With the change in season comes two important announcements from us: our full vendor list and the announcement of our 2024 Festival Artist.
This year we’re excited to share that we have more than 120 amazing vendors joining us, including:
- 30 floral vendors (peonies, peonies, and more peonies!)
- 20 food & drink vendors (shorter lines for food!)
- Plus tons of art, handmade goods, apparel, kids activities and more – all peony inspired!
Head to our website to see the comprehensive vendor list.
This year’s Indiana Peony Festival is sponsored by Smith’s Jewelers.

We’re also excited to introduce you to the official 2024 Indiana Peony Festival Artist.
We received so many incredible artist submissions from talented creatives all over Indiana and beyond for this year’s official festival artwork. While we’re putting the final touches on the winning design, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Brooke Killey (@midwesternpetalsmith).
Brooke is an artist, adventurer, painter, illustrator, muralist, and metalsmith who lives in Fishers, Indiana with her husband and two dogs. Here are a few things about Brook that we think you should know:
- Her artwork is deeply influenced by the natural world and her explorations hiking throughout Indiana and the Midwest.
- We love flowers (and she does too!). She said that she had always been fascinated by flora and fauna and finds inspiration studying the colors and textures of petals, stems and leaves.
- She doesn’t stick to just one medium, but likes to create botanically-inspired, mixed media illustrations and jewelry pieces to tell stories, and to reflect on her connections within the natural environment.
Stay tuned for the final reveal of Brooke’s stunning peony-themed design coming soon.
