The Indiana Peony Festival, powered by Duke Energy, kicked off Friday evening at Noblesville’s Seminary Park with the VIPP (Very Important Peony Person) event called “Peonies in the Park.” Sponsored by Smith Jewelers, the ticketed event serves as a fundraiser for the Indiana Peony Festival, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to continue its work with beautification projects, peony gardens and horticulture education.
Friday night rain rolled in at 6:30 p.m., but the festivities continue today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the park, and Hoosier Weather Daddy Paul Poteet is calling for lots of sunshine and a high of 70. Featuring over 70 vendors, the festival will be humming with peony-inspired floral installations, food, music, wine, beer and so much more.
