More than 70 artists, artisans and authors will gather along the Nickel Plate Trail on Sunday, Sept. 13, for the seventh annual Harvest Fest.

The free, family-friendly event will run from noon to 5 p.m. in downtown Fishers. Fishers Arts Council and Hamilton County Tourism are presenting the festival, which combines an art fair, live entertainment and activities with fundraising for 10 area nonprofits.

Harvest Fest will extend from Café Patachou, 8654 E. 116th St., to Hamilton East Public Library, 5 Municipal Drive. Vendors and activities will be divided among seven “art fields” along the trail.

Visitors will find fine art, jewelry, woodworking, ceramics, glass, clothing, home décor, personal-care products and books by Indiana authors. Musicians Erick Oneal Fisher, Brandon Douthitt and Glenn Seland will perform, along with the band Enigma Fig.

Participating nonprofits include Bee Free Bakes, Central Indiana Wood Workers, the Delaware Township Trustee food pantry, Fishers Community Chorus, Fishers Art Center, Fishers Historical Society, Hamilton East Public Library Foundation, Hoosier Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Saving Our Sisters and Fishers Arts Council.

Fundraising activities will include Turkish paper marbling led by artist Esma Yokus, animal interactions with Hoosier Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation and face painting hosted by the Fishers Historical Society.

The Delaware Township Trustee food pantry will collect nonperishable food and monetary donations for fresh milk, meat and produce. Visitors who donate may also decorate a tote bag.

Seven food trucks will donate part of their event proceeds to participating nonprofits. The lineup includes Biscuit Baby, Chef TLC with Faith the Food Bus, Dog & Ball, Ice Cream Donuts, Kona Ice Indy, Pastelitos Las Gochitas and Smokey Blue BBQ. MashCraft-Fishers will sponsor the beer garden.

Harvest Fest was founded in 2020 and moved from Heritage Park at White River to the Nickel Plate Trail in 2025.

“Moving from Heritage Park at White River to the Nickel Plate Trail has added so much to the experience,” Fishers Arts Council Executive Director Les Reinhardt said in the event announcement.

No RSVP is required. Event maps, parking information and updates are available on the Fishers Arts Council event page.
