Knox County Watermelon Festival

About

Held each August in downtown Vincennes, the Knox County Watermelon Festival celebrates the region's watermelon industry with fair food, live music, pageants, and craft vendors. The festival draws a family crowd — expect alongside the typical food and toy vendors, artisans selling handmade goods and unique clothing. Antique tractor show and a 5K color run add to the draw.
