127th OLD SETTLERS
FESTIVAL - August 7-11, 2012
Odon Park is the
site of the oldest festival in Indiana, the Odon Old Settlers. The
festival is started off with a parade from the former Odon School
site thru the downtown area and ending at the park. At the park
there are carnival rides, live music, a wide variety of food, crafts
and exhibits. The Odon Old Settlers roots date back to the early
1800s when a local Civil War veteran offered the park, then his
personal grove, as a site for early residents to reunite, share food
and memories, and celebrate their beginnings in the area with family
and friends. Today, the Odon Old Settlers Festival continues that
unbroken tradition and we invite you to join us.
