The Indiana Artisan Marketplace will showcase over 100 artisans from nearly 40 Indiana counties, featuring Hoosier-made wines, food, jewelry, handbags, paintings, and fiber arts. The 2-day event will also feature another 75 artisans from Kentucky.
The event is being held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in the Expo Hall on Saturday, March 31 from 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday, April 1, from 10 am to 5 pm. The cost is $10 per person, but is free for children 7 and under.
