There’s always something happening in LaGrange County. Festivals and special events entertain residents and visitors throughout the year. In the spring, there’s a Maple Syrup Festival at Maple Wood Nature Center, and Shipshewana sponsors Mayfest, a family celebration with food, parades, and music. During the summer months, there’s free concerts and theater in Topeka’s parks and 4th of July festivals in Topeka, LaGrange, and Wolcottville. The LaGrange County 4-H Fairgrounds, located in LaGrange, packs them in for the annual 4-H Fair, held in July, and the Gas and Steam Engine Show, held in August. In September, Howe celebrates its annual festival, Indian Summer Days, with a bike tour, parade, and activities. A month later, LaGrange sponsors Corn School, featuring a street fair, a parade and family fun. Come November and December towns welcome the holidays with a variety of open houses, Santa’s-coming ceremonies, and live Nativities. Quilt shows, craft fairs, church suppers, pancake breakfasts, and other events sponsored by local church groups and civic organizations round out the year.
