If you love guitars and great music, you don’t want to miss the Indiana Guitar Show & Music Gear Expo happening April 12-13 at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex in Danville, Indiana.
Musicians, collectors and anyone else who appreciates a killer riff can explore national dealers, vintage instruments, live demos and more gear than you can imagine. Bring your instrument, find your next favorite piece, or just geek out perusing more than 140 tables of music-related treasures — it’s the biggest guitar event in Indiana!
Show Details
This year’s spring event will open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 12, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 13. Tickets are $15 per day, but visitors can opt for a $25 official T-shirt, which includes free admission for both days.
Parking is free, and nearby hotels, including the Holiday Inn Express in Plainfield, are offering discounted rates for attendees and vendors.
More Than Guitars
With 140 tables of music gear, attendees can browse PA systems, recording equipment, amps, effects pedals, vinyl records, music memorabilia and even fiddles, mandolins, and dulcimers.
There's something for every level of music collector from the brand-new to the vintage and just plain cool. This event is also buy-sell-trade, so if you have gear you’re looking to offload or upgrade, bring it along and make a deal.
Swag
Attendees can pick up official event merchandise, including T-shirts, hats and other items, to commemorate their experience at the show. These limited-edition items are a great way to show off your love for music and the Indiana Guitar Show.
There will also be door prizes, where lucky winners could take home autographed memorabilia with past items from legendary artists like Bonnie Raitt, Paul McCartney and Johnny Cash.
Special Guests
One of the most exciting features of this year’s show is the return of the A&E Television Network to film another installment of their series Every Guitar Has A Story. Attendees are invited to bring their favorite guitar or amp, share their story on camera, and possibly be featured on TV.
The show first joined the Indiana Guitar Show last spring, and after a successful run, returned in the fall.
