Bloombox Festival

Admission is free and open to the community. Registration is not required.

Founded in 2002, Bloombox celebrates musicians who perform original live music and artists who create original work. As part of the Harrison Center's Cultural Entrepreneur Initiative, this year's festival is coordinated by high school seniors Cleo Corder and Amelia Smith.

In the courtyard, two stages feature continuous music throughout the day. Rusty Redenbacher returns as emcee along with Caleb Keitt. An exciting line-up from a wide range of musical genres is in store for attendees.

Around the Harrison Center, vendors peddle their wares. Formerly known as INDIEana Handicraft Exchange and now merged under the Bloombox brand, this contemporary craft fair consciously celebrates modern handmade goods, the relationship between creator and consumer, and local, alternative economies. It highlights local crafters and artisans and exposes Indianapolis to some of the best vendors on the national indie craft fair map.

Inside the Harrison Center, our galleries feature work by Quincy Owens, William Denton Ray, Lindsey Lord, Faith Blackwell, Crystal Vicars, and Harriet Watson.

A variety of food trucks will provide delicious food options, Sun King Brewery will serve locally-produced beer, and Ash & Elm will serve cider. ArtMix returns with its popular ice cream fundraiser featuring handmade ceramic bowls. The free roller skating rink will also return!

With support from Rockefeller Global Family Office, @Properties, Compendium, COhatch, LISC, Foundry Provisions, Renew Dental Arts, Griffy's Art Supply, and Sun King Brewery.
