The Harrison Center is preparing to celebrate a major milestone this summer – the 25th annual Bloombox Festival. Scheduled to take place Saturday, June 20, in the historic Old Northside neighborhood, Bloombox is a free, daylong music festival and artisan market celebrating the best independent local and regional musicians, visual artists, food vendors, and crafters.
Since its founding in 2002, Bloombox has championed musicians and artists who create original work. This year’s festival is coordinated by Kieron Bishop as part of the Harrison Center’s Cultural Entrepreneur Initiative. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The festival has several major components:
LIVE MUSIC / Two stages along Delaware Street will feature continuous music throughout the day. Artists will perform back-to-back in an exciting line-up that is sure to get the audience moving. Bloombox serves as a platform for the community to discover their favorite local artists, showcasing a variety of genres that celebrate the richness and diversity of our local music scene.
ARTISAN MARKET / The Bloombox Artisan Market will fill the Harrison Center’s grounds and building with a vibrant mix of makers, crafters, and shoppers. This thoughtfully curated market honors the spirit of handmade work, showcasing local talent and standout vendors from across Indiana while fostering meaningful connections between artists and their audiences.
GALLERIES / The Harrison Center galleries will feature work by artists such as Eric Lubrick, Nick Abstract, Joel Atkinson and Hector Del Campo.
FOOD & DRINK / Attendees can enjoy a variety of food trucks, cider from Ash & Elm, locally brewed beer from Sun King, and ArtMix’s popular returning ice cream fundraiser featuring handmade ceramic bowls.
