Seminary Park Becomes A Massive Floral Showcase

At the center of the festival, Seminary Park will once again transform into a massive floral showcase filled with colorful peony displays, hand-tied floral installations, photo backdrops, live music, festival merchandise, and peony plants available for purchase.

Festival organizers say the event continues to expand beyond the park itself, with downtown streets and the courthouse lawn becoming part of the celebration once again this year.

Indiana's State Flower Takes Center Stage

Peonies typically bloom in Indiana for only a short window each year, making the festival one of the state's signature spring events for gardeners, flower lovers, photographers, and anyone looking for a colorful weekend road trip destination.

The Indiana Peony Festival is free and open to the public.
