Peonies in the Park, making Indiana Peony Festival possible

By KELLY McVEY
President, Indiana Peony Festival, Inc.

Giving back to our community has always been one of our top priorities here at the Indiana Peony Festival. Alongside our one-day festival, we also create beautification projects year-round.

These projects wouldn’t be possible without your help and support. With our annual Peonies in the Park fundraiser, we’re able to organize peony paintings throughout our community, continue growing our Peony Passport & Peony Trail network with local businesses, and activate monthly Flower Markets in the summer, fall, and winter. We’re so grateful to be a part of such an inspiring and collaborative community.

Peonies in the Park will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 16. Attire is floral cocktail. Click here to get your tickets.

We’re excited to be working with our very own 9th Street Bistro again. We’re bringing back some of Indy’s most revered chefs and restaurants in the area, including:

• 9th Street Bistro
• J’Adore / Epicurean Indy
• Tinker Street
• Wisanggeni Pawon
• Borage
• Gather 22
• Macizo
• Corridor

Don’t worry, we will have an assortment of festive drinks available, too!

• Wine: Daniel’s Vineyard
• Signature Cocktails: Moon Drops Distillery will be offering a variety of signature cocktails in our very own IPF collector’s cup! Stay tuned for the reveal!
• Beer: Primeval Brewing’s special batch of the beloved “Peony Days” Cream Ale. Also, Bier Brewery will be joining the party and offering their legendary 10th Street Lager and various other beers.

And that’s just the beginning! We’ll have live music, local plein air artists, a best-dressed competition, photo opportunities, peony merch, and we saved the best for last … a good old-fashioned cakewalk. In honor of the festival turning five years old, we could not forget the cake! More details to come.

All of this is possible because of the partnership of those above, and Church Church Hittle + Antrim, who supports the Indiana Peony Festival in our quest to make downtown Noblesville more vivid and active. The Indiana Peony Festival is proud to share CCH+A is the presenting sponsor for our 2025 Peonies in the Park fundraising event.

CCH+A is a full-service law firm with offices in downtown Noblesville, Westfield, Fishers, Carmel, Zionsville, and beyond. CCH+A is committed to families and lends a vibrant, visible, and active tradition of involvement in the communities their attorneys serve, live and work in.

So, join us Friday, May 16 as we kick-off festival weekend and celebrate milestones within a community. We hope to see you there.
