The Fishers Arts Council and Sun King Brewery announced their partnership in hosting the 4th annual Harvest Fest, a vibrant celebration of art, music, and community. The event is set to take place on Sunday, September 10th, from noon to 5 pm at Fishers Heritage Park at White River, located at 10595 Eller Road, Fishers.
This year’s Harvest Fest promises an array of family-friendly activities, including over 45 artists and artisans, nine non-profit organizations, three live bands, local authors, and a delectable selection of food and drink options for all attendees. The event, which began in 2020, has rapidly grown in popularity, embracing its mission to raise funds and awareness for various Fishers-serving non-profits, while also showcasing the talents of local artists and musicians.
“We are beyond thrilled with how much Harvest Fest has grown since its inception in 2020,” said Les Reinhardt, Executive Director of Fishers Arts Council. “All of our sponsors and partners, especially Sun King Brewery and Nickel Plate Arts, have helped elevate this event in such an amazing way. We are truly thankful for how our community comes together to make this event possible, and we are proud to be able to offer a fundraising opportunity for Fishers-serving non-profits in a fun, community art fair atmosphere.”
Beth Belange-Hood, the Promotions Director of Sun King Brewery & Spirits, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “Sun King Brewery is a proud supporter of the arts, culture, and humanities. Fishers Arts Council is a vital partner, providing support for all local artists in our community. Next time you visit our Fishers Tap Room and Small-Batch Brewery, you can check out our local artists display that showcases local Hamilton County and Hoosier artists.”
This year’s Harvest Fest promises an expanded lineup of attractions, including diverse art and craft stalls offering everything from fine art and jewelry to toys and personal care items, all crafted by local talents from Central Indiana. In addition to the visual arts, attendees can immerse themselves in live musical performances by three featured bands: Sweet Tunes, The Klezmets, and Remington Hill.
The event will also feature a range of activities by participating non-profits, such as art activities, raffles, and craft stations. Notable among the participating organizations are The Forgiving Sea Project, The Fishers Historical Society, Gal’s Guide Library, Studio Outside the Box, Janus Developmental Services, Hoosier Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Delaware Township Trustee, ReSounding Joy, and Fishers Arts Council.
Fishers Parks, in collaboration with Fishers Arts Council, will provide family yard games.
Admission to Harvest Fest is free of charge, encouraging families and individuals to come together and enjoy a day filled with creativity, entertainment, and local flavors. As a sign of the event’s growing prominence, the Walmart Neighborhood Grant program and the Fishers Arts + Culture Commission are also contributing support, underscoring the collaborative effort that makes Harvest Fest possible.
With the success of past events, including last year’s rainy but well-attended edition, Harvest Fest 2023 is anticipated to draw an even larger crowd. Attendees are encouraged to bring their appetites and a spirit of community as they explore the diverse offerings and vibrant atmosphere that this year’s Harvest Fest promises to deliver.
