Largest in Indiana
This show consistently remains the largest gathering of musicians in the state year after year. Many of the vendors even travel from outside the state to be part of this huge event.
Buy, Sell & Trade
Buying, selling and trading is encouraged at this show. Organizers even encourage visitors to bring any musical instrument because they will probably find a buyer or a trade partner. Make sure not to take the first deal, but to move around the room and find the best offer.
More Than Guitars
There's a reason this event is called the Indiana Guitar Show & Music Gear Expo. While guitars may be the headliner at this show, it goes well beyond just one single instrument. If your guitar, amp, drum kit, or other instrument has a special story, the Indiana Guitar Show wants to tell it.
If you are in the market for more than guitars, you will also find sound equipment, other instruments including fiddles, dulcimers and more and other sound and musical accessories.
Meet & Mingle
This event provides a great place to meet fellow musicians, swap trade stories and tips and learn from professionals.
