Many of us have been wishing for spring for months, and now it’s finally time to emerge from your cocoon and get back into the world. Here’s some inspiration to spread your wings and get out and about this season.
Of course, the beloved Kentucky Derby Festival offers events from March through May, but there are other festivals to be had throughout our region, too. Shelbyville will hold the Dogwood Artisan Showcase on April 20 that will feature more than 100 artisans of art, boutiques, and local flavors at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.

And if you like finding or frying up morels in the spring, head north for a festival outside the norm at the Mansfield Village Mushroom Festival and Car Show the weekend of April 26-27 in Parke County, Indiana. This area near Indianapolis is known for its covered bridges and three state parks.
