Indianapolis, IN

The 19th annual Fisher Freedom Festival has kicked off this weekend in style. This event draws over 40,000 people each year (or about the equivalent of the traffic rush hour from 465 to 69 on a daily basis), and 5,000 are not from the Indy area. What makes this thing so special?

Well, first of all, there’s literally something for everyone. There are craft tents, fireworks, a 5K race, parades, video games, even scuba diving for adults!! And what’s one of the best things about it?? It’s FREE!! Guests are encouraged to give back for all of the events that are available to them, but if you don’t want to, you don’t have to! How cool is that?

What’s more is that even pets can get in on the act! There is the International Dog Disc competition, which is basically a competition to see if one Fido can catch a frisbee more times and with more panache than another one

There are approximately 250-350 volunteers that run the entire festival, and thousands more contribute perishable and non-perishable items to assist. If this year is this cool, I can’t WAIT until the 20th anniversary festival next year!

Come on down and have some fun!!!
