The Indiana Peony Festival returns to downtown Noblesville on Saturday, May 16, 2026, with a full day of flowers, shopping, food and family-friendly fun centered around Indiana’s state flower. The free event takes place in Historic Seminary Park, but the celebration stretches into downtown, so families can make an afternoon of strolling, browsing and stopping for a bite along the way.
Expect a busy spring festival atmosphere with floral installations, live music, food and drinks, and more than 150 vendors selling everything from cut flowers and bouquets to plants, clothing, decor, art and peony-themed goods. Activities spread through Seminary Park, the downtown courthouse lawn and surrounding streets, so wear comfortable shoes and plan for a little walking between festival areas.
