The Indiana State Fair will celebrate the state’s strong agricultural roots with an exciting and educational event at the Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion. From Thursday, August 7 to Sunday, August 10, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., volunteers will welcome visitors to explore Indiana's agricultural heritage through tasty food samples and fun farm facts.
Organized as part of the fair’s mission to promote agriculture, this event is designed to educate fairgoers of all ages about the importance of farming in Indiana. Volunteers will highlight the role of agriculture in daily life by sharing interesting facts about Indiana’s top commodities, including corn, soybeans, pork, dairy, and poultry.
In addition to learning, visitors will enjoy free samples of locally produced foods, giving them a literal taste of what Indiana farms grow. These samples are meant to spark curiosity about food sources and build connections between consumers and local farmers.
The Fall Creek Pavilion at the fairgrounds will serve as the main hub for these activities, offering an interactive and family-friendly environment. It’s a great opportunity for students, families, and curious visitors to learn where their food comes from and why agriculture matters.
By blending education with fun, this initiative helps bridge the gap between farms and urban communities. It reflects Indiana’s commitment to promoting agricultural literacy and supporting local farmers.
As one of the highlights of the State Fair, this event invites everyone to celebrate the land, people, and products that keep Indiana growing strong. Whether you’re a student or a seasoned fairgoer, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy and learn.
