Riley Festival

About

Held each October in downtown Greenfield, the Riley Festival is one of Indiana's largest and longest-running community celebrations—four days of local art, crafts, music, food, parades, and contests honoring James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier Poet born in Greenfield. The festival draws large crowds to the courthouse square and surrounding downtown venues. Vendors span crafts, food, and beverage categories.
