About the event

Mark your calendars for the 23rd annual Bloombox Festival, a day-long outdoor festival featuring independent local musicians and visual artists in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. This annual event honors local musicians and artists who perform original live music and create original work. It provides a unique opportunity for interaction with other local artists and the community. Bloombox 2024 is a FREE festival that takes place on Saturday, June 15th, from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Bands are featured on two stages in the exterior courtyard of the Harrison Center. 100+ artists, crafters and makers selling their handmade goods will be located both inside the venue and outside on the streets surrounding the venue. Food trucks, local breweries, and other community organizations will also be involved. Check the Bloombox Facebook page for the latest updates. *Bloombox Festival was formerly known as the Independent Music + Art Festival (IMAF), in conjunction with the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange (IHE). In an effort to better serve our patrons and artist participants, as well as to strengthen the bond between the two event entities, we have finally rebranded under one name after many years.

This is NOT the application to apply to be considered as a food truck vendor or a music act. For inquiries regarding those available spaces, please email Nikki at bloombox@harrisoncenter.org.
