Elwood Glass Festival
|
The Elwood Glass Festival is the pride of the community and one of the leading festivals in Central Indiana. It is held each year on the third weekend of August – Friday through Sunday.
Elwood’s largest annual event since 1971, the Glass Festival is organized, managed, and funded by the Elwood Chamber of Commerce with sponsorship from local businesses and help from countless volunteers from the community.
The festival serves as a tribute to the unique, beautifully crafted hand-blown art-glass produced throughout the Elwood community since the earliest days of the Indiana Gas Boom, more than 120 years ago. Today, two outstanding art-glass factories – The House of Glass and Carol’s Legacy Glass – still call Elwood their home.
The Glass Festival includes a parade, carnival rides, arts and crafts, food, collectibles, bus tours, demonstrations, and fun contests. The Vintage Rollers Car Show brings more than 300 classic cars each year. Live bands and other entertainment perform at the Jim Knoop Amphitheater at Callaway Park. And free bus tours are available daily and include stops at Carol’s Legacy Glass and the House of Glass.
The Elwood Glass Festival is an event the whole family can enjoy. Admission is free.
