Apparently, This is Indiana’s Best Food Festival

Who doesn't love a good festival, especially when there is a lot of food involved?!

There are all kinds of festivals throughout Indiana each year. Each of them offers its own unique attractions, entertainment, and food. Of course, my favorite part of festivals in Indiana is the food. The best kind of festivals are food festivals. We have so many fesivals all centered around food here in the Hoosier State that if you haven't attended at least one of them, you're not fulfilling your Hoosier duty. With so many food festivals throughout the state, which one has been named the best?

Well, of course, that answer is completely subjective. Everyone has their own preference. What might be the best in your opinion might not be the best to Joe Schmoe. The foodie website, LoveFood, recently listed the best food festival in each state. Their selections were based on the popularity of each festival in its place of origin and beyond, and on the opinions of their well-travelled (and well-fed) team. Again, subjective.

What is the Best Food Festival in Indiana?

When you think of food in Indiana, you might first think of a breaded tenderloin or corn. Chances are, the first food that comes to mind would not be a pierogi. However, according to LoveFood, the best food festival in Indiana is the Pierogi Fest in Whiting.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about Pierogi Fest:

Pierogi Fest highlights and celebrates Whiting’s Polish heritage, and there's a big focus on the cuisine's iconic potato dumplings. These delicious, filled parcels are served up in a variety of tasty ways and are undoubtedly a huge part of what attracts hundreds of thousands of people over three days each July. The festive atmosphere includes live music, traditional dancing across several stages, a pierogi toss, and a polka parade.
