Bluffton Free Street Fair

About

The Bluffton Free Street Fair is the oldest and largest street fair in Indiana, dating back to 1898. Held each September—the third full week, Tuesday through Saturday — this free five-day celebration in downtown Bluffton draws regional crowds and features vendor booths, rides, food, games, parades, car show, horse and pony pull, Idol contest, and live entertainment. The Bluffton Free Street Fair remains one of the few fairs nationwide still carrying the word "Free" as a defining principle.
