Festivals, food, music, and fun are the name of the game this month in central Indiana, and the towns of Plainfield, Danville, Brownsburg and Avon are the places to enjoy all of it and more.
Get a taste of the happenings below, and be sure to watch our Event Calendar for even more excitement.
Enjoy the Circus
Vernardos Circus rolls into The Shops at Perry Crossing Sept. 5-15, and it's a show worth seeing! This animal-free circus is full of excitement, with world-class performers showcasing extraordinary talents.
Purchase tickets online, and prepare for a night of family fun you'll remember for years to come.
Fair on the Square
This annual event taking place Sept. 7 and 8 features more than 100 craft and food vendors, live music, and a half marathon and 5K through the beautiful streets of historic Danville, Indiana.
Also make sure to check out the Hendricks County Historical Museum open house, library book sale and Danville Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market, all taking place in town simultaneously.
Hendricks Live! Performances
From the pop anthems of Andy Grammer to comedian Ben Bailey of Cash Cab fame to 90's rock icons Crash Test Dummies to local country staple Levi Riggs, Hendricks Live! will be the place to be this September.
See their full lineup and choose your favorite, and don't forget to grab dinner at The Prewitt Restaurant + Lounge or Tlahcos Mexican Cuisine, both just across the street from this stunning venue.
Blues in the 'Burg
This annual celebration of music and food takes place Sept. 7 in Arbuckle Acres Park. Complete with a beer garden, food truck, and acclaimed regional and national acts such as Thornetta Davis, Jennie DeVoe, and Django Knight Band, this evening of the blues is a can't miss.
See their full lineup and pack your lawn chairs to enjoy the blues at sunset and under the stars. A sensory-friendly tent will be available for concert goers to enjoy the festival in a relaxing space.
Indiana Guitar Show
This bi-annual event -- the largest gathering of musicians in the state -- returns to the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds Sept. 28 and 29.
Buy, sell, and trade with national dealers who will be available to value your favorite (or maybe your least favorite) instruments.
Bow Wow Bash!
This 14th annual event has moved to Avon's Washington Township Park this year, but will feature all the beloved events, including pet contests, silent auction, a lure course, food trucks and the Hendricks Power Ball Drop -- arguably more fun than a NYE ball drop, and certainly cuter.
Bow Wow Bash is the largest adoption event in the county, and proceeds support Misty Eyes Animal Shelter.
