Where should I park for Indiana Peony Festival?

Can you believe it’s almost May?

We’re officially rounding third base and we can see home plate! The festival is just a reach away, and we’re so eager to show you all of the amazing projects we’ve been creating and planning behind the scenes. May 17 will be here soon enough.

Speaking of projects, we are ecstatic to show you a glimpse at our 2025 Official Indiana Peony Merchandise. This is a sneak peek at what we will offer at the IPF Merchandise Tent, located in Seminary Park. We’ll have apparel, art prints, knickknacks and more. Make sure to check out our merchandise tent to snag an item or two as memorabilia.

Additionally, we’ll have our premier sponsor Smith’s Jewelers joining us in the merchandise zone to sell the inaugural commemorative charm. This one-of-a-kind charm is available now through festival day. Click here to watch a short video about how the charm is made.

While we’re on the topic of fun, what is more entertaining for the kiddos than our official Kids Zone? This year, our Kids Zone is sponsored by Duke Energy. Positioned at Hannibal and 11th streets, there will be amazing kid-friendly vendors for your little ones to enjoy. To name a few, we’ll have snow cones, balloon art, kid-friendly crafts, and, of course, the Seminary Park playground for all children to roam and play.

Now for the main thing on everyone’s mind: where should I park? Don’t sweat, we’ve got you covered. One of the main reasons we love to host the festival in and around Seminary Park is because over 500 parking spots are available near the park.

Between downtown street parking, we will also have the following locations to park:

• Stony Creek Elementary
• Levinson Parking Garage
• Hamilton County Parking Garage
• City Hall Employee Lot, ADA Parking
• Noblesville Ivy Tech

We’re also offering transportation from Stony Creek Elementary and Noblesville Ivy Tech to the festival. Thanks to our transportation sponsor, Godby Home Furnishings, we’ve upgraded from shuttles to spacious school buses for more attendees to use, offering an easy bus ride from point A to point B with no stress in between. These numerous buses will run all day long and will pick up and drop off at two locations near Seminary Park:

• Shuttle stop to Noblesville Ivy Tech is on Hannibal Street, between 12th and 13th streets
• Shuttle stop to Stony Creek Elementary is at 9th and Mulberry streets, next to Mill Top
