I am always up for an adventure, and this one was no exception. If you like stepping back in time, then you need to come check out the Feast of the Hunters Moon, a reenactment of a mid-1700s trading post. With a reenactment comes reenactors. There are hundreds of them, dressed in traditional garb, armed with artillery, hanging out in their traditional tents, huddled around the fire. It's quite the sight to see. These reenactors lead a variety of events, from traditional dances to church ceremonies for a few denominations. Vendors also set up shop, selling everything from furry frontier hats to fine china to swords to mini telescopes. Best of all, there's BUD'S ROOT BEER (the best of the best) and FOOD: apple dumplings, fried dough, pork chops, stews/soups, sausages, breads. Most of it is pretty tasty, so bring cash and your appetite for sure! This event is definitely family-friendly and a nod to our Indiana history. Mark your calendars to experience this for sure!

Many neighborhoods were closed around town and there was booth after booth filled with antiques, crafts, handmade treasures, and flea markets that I furnished my house with. The main street had lots of food trucks and yummies as grilled meat smells drifted thru the air. The sound of Ecuadorian panpipes also filled the air with sweet melodies, along with other acoustic trios. Today was a beautiful day and after many years we thought we would give it a try for a little get away. Like many things that change, some get better, some get worse. There was a good attendance and they were all partaking at the many many food stalls. -but that was about it. I enjoyed the company of my hubster and found a couple vendors that were somewhat flee market where I found a very nice bowl for $5 and an ornamental birdhouse for 3bucks. Not a total wash, but not our cup of tea anymore....

This festival is nothing short of great. It literally covers the entire town of Atlanta, from…read moreprofessional booths all the way from other states to meager garage sales (virtually everyone in town and in Arcadia and Cicero has them on this weekend) where you can get really good deals. I have to say I am shocked that this was not already on Yelp. They have something for everyone here. Craft booths, art booths, food booths, airsoft gun booths, jewelry booths, and every other type of booth imaginable. I am a huge Star Wars fan, and I love to find vintage stuff. There are a couple booths that sometimes have really great Star Wars stuff for dirt cheap prices. I love this festival so much!!!!!! I usually go in the morning because it can get crowded sometimes later in the day. This year I get to come on both days because my cousins are coming--hoorah!!!! I have to say I am really shocked that the Earthfest was not already on Yelp.

Art in…read moreBloom, The Lume immersive experiences , Winterlights and of course Harvest Nights are some of the annual events I look forward to. Last night was the third time I attended Harvest Nights. This was the first time I arrived before it was dark so it was less spooky and a bit more wholesome in the daylight. We arrived at 7 and stayed until about 9 pm to experience everything lit up after dark. When you arrive, you're surrounded by stacks of pumpkins in every size, shape, color and type imaginable. Beautiful Fall arrangements are everywhere you look. The Fungi Forest was something new I haven't seen before. Very cool! I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland encompassed by giant mushrooms towering above illuminated by strategically placed neon lights. One of the highlights of the event was the Cutwater Lounge--a 21+ space upstairs in the Lily House transformed into "Mischief Manor" only for Harvest Nights. The bartender told me this was the first year having this feature. We had a flight of the Cutwater alcoholic beverages that included a snack mix of tasty treats. The Mule and Espresso Martini were our favs with the margarita coming in 3rd. Cutwater's take on the Lemon Drop (which is a drink I typically enjoy) was strong yet tasted a bit watered down. The adult only experience wasn't very well marked (it's upstairs) and signage in general--starting at the parking lot entrance--needs improvement. I'm not sure we would have known about the adult area had it not been for the nice lady who sold us some yummy sweet potato fries with sage and bourbon maple dip. The Spider Stomp, Ghost Train and light show projected onto the Lily House all add to the overall experience. The seasonal food and drink options are great albeit a bit pricey. Passed on the $12 Bavarian pretzel but had to try Elysian Pumpkin Ale and wanted to try the cider but $14 was a little steep. It's not necessary to spend $20 for premium parking that they pressure you to purchase when you first pull into the lot. I recommend getting there early and wearing some of your best walking shoes. It's a cashless campus so good to keep that in mind. Love Newfields and can't wait for Winterlights in a couple months!

There were tons of decorated pumpkins throughout Newfields. There is a food/drink garden area in the middle with benches to take a break if you want. We ordered the Marsh & Mallow Spooky Campfire Cocoa (spiked hot cocoa) and we all liked it and was comforting on this chilly night. The Lily house had a long line but we enjoyed going in and seeing all the spooky details inside.

There is something for everyone. Lots of great food, both fair type and that served up by local churches and organizations. There were even two places that sold ice cream made the old fashioned way. They each had fun setups that churned the ice cream. Sadly each time we went by they were making the ice cream and it wasn't ready. My husband loved seeing the large number of old tractors. On Saturday morning there is also a parade with the old tractors. There is live music and a field full of inflatables and horse rides for the kids. There is even a cornhole tournament where you can pay $10 for a team of two to compete. They also have rows of vendors selling all kinds of things. From clothes to shoes to honey and soap. I would definitely recommend you check it out. Fun way to get out with the family while supporting the local community. If you go from here to Matthews town you will find big rummage sales spread out all over town. And more fair type food being served up.

I seldom find food to purchase, but this year I noticed and tried el Patron food truck because they offered short rib taco, which I have never heard of. I bought 2 short ribs tacos and 1 steak taco with side of mild salsa, which was super hot to me. The tacos needed each lime wedge to moisten the delicious, hearty meats. I would recommend the $16 tacos (with tax). I wanted to listen to the concert tribute to Fleetwood Mac which was OK from where I sat to eat dinner. This year fireworks will be on the 4th. Parade will be on the 4th in the morning with people already placing something to hold their spot.

We did a pony ride and got to pet and feed the animals! Then to end our day we watched the concerts going on and had a blast listening and dancing to the music. Overall it was a fun experience and we look forward to coming back next year!

Well, maybe I couldn't, but a baseball player sure could. To begin with, it's worth noting that the city shuts down for festival weekend. If you want to go to the hardware store...don't. Any store that IS open along 3rd street is dedicating itself to its festival booth. But that's okay - for one day a year, I'm happy to hang out at home and watch about a million (okay, probably just a couple of thousand) wander over. Parking isn't terrible as long as you're okay with walking, since you can basically park in any of the neighborhoods. If you're not able to do that, the churches sell spots on their lawn and in their parking lots. There are three main attractions to be had: 1. The entire city becomes a giant yard sale. Everyone uses that weekend as a time to help make their stuff into your stuff. So bring your cash. There are a couple of ATMs in town at the convenience stores as well. Oh, and come visit me, I have a lot of whisky decanters to rehome. Tell me that you found me on Yelp and I'll give you a discount. 2. Food. This is where the festival doesn't do as well. There are a lot of food options, but the lines are incredibly long. They either need more food vendors, or the existing food vendors need to be more efficient. We want to give you our money, but you have to meet us halfway! 3. STUFF. Lots of vendors selling various things. There are always some people selling wooden creations, plants here and there, food products, etc. If you go to Mosey Down Main or other street festivals in the greater Tippecanoe area, you'll probably see similar things. There are other attractions, like the pony ride, music, a beer garden, etc., but that changes from year-to-year. I think it's a delightful little festival, and that everyone should come.
