Parke County is famous for the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival, held every October. For 40 years nearly two million visitors from all over the world have gathered to celebrate Indiana's oldest and largest festival. Parke County is home to 32 covered bridges, more than any other county in the world. Five color-coded routes wind through these beautiful historic landmarks, marked for visitors to follow any time of the year.

Don't miss the Mountain Man Rendezvous, held the end of April, where the famous Mountain Men provide demonstrations of pre-1840s living. Tour the camps and see blacksmiths, leather and bead work, open-fire cooking and muzzle fire shooting.

Other festivals include the Maple Syrup Festival; the Mansfield Village Monthly Flea Market; the Mansfield Village Annual Mushroom Festival and Car Show; and the Bluegrass Festival and Old Fashioned Christmas.
