Indiana Peony Festival

The Indiana Peony Festival takes place on May 17, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Seminary Park (350 South 10th Street), Noblesville, Indiana.

Admission is free and the event is accessible to people with disabilities.

The festival’s location, Seminary Park, serves as the central hub featuring stunning floral installations, exclusive festival merchandise, live music, and venues designed for photo opportunities.
