More about the Festival
The Indiana Peony Festival is free to attendees and returns to Seminary Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 21. More than 50 vendors are anticipated for this year’s event and, thanks to Noblesville police, fire and public safety, dedicated parking lots and a shuttle to-and-from the downtown Noblesville event will improve attendee’s experience.
Also added this year (and also presented by Duke Energy and Smith Jewelers) is “Peonies in the Park” from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 20 at Seminary Park.
Organizer Kelly McVey says the event is the perfect opportunity to be a VIPP – a Very Important Peony Person.
“Attendees will be able to sample peony-inspired dishes and drinks from more than 10 Noblesville eateries while getting a first pick of peony plants and stems and shopping from featured vendors,” McVey said.
Tickets to the VIPP event are $100 each and may be purchased online through the Indiana Peony Festival website.
Proceeds from the Indiana Peony Festival special events support beautification projects in Hamilton County.
