Corydon Extravaganza ## About the Event The Corydon Extravaganza is one of Southern Indiana's premier vintage and antique shopping experiences, drawing hundreds of visitors multiple times throughout the year. What began as a traditional antique show in 2013 has blossomed into a vibrant celebration of all things vintage, handmade, and unique.

The event radiates a warm, community-focused atmosphere where collectors, decorators, and treasure hunters come together to discover one-of-a-kind pieces. Promoted and curated by Joe and Lindsey Poe, owners of the Old Town Store and Poe's Vintage Goods, the Extravaganza has earned recognition as one of Indiana's best festivals. What makes it truly special is the perfect blend of shopping, entertainment, and culinary delights—live music performances create an energetic backdrop while food trucks and a wine bar keep visitors fueled and happy throughout the day. ## The Surrounding Area Nestled in the charming historic town of Corydon, Indiana, the Extravaganza sits just thirty minutes from Louisville, Kentucky, making it an accessible destination for visitors throughout the broader Kentuckiana region.
