Lotus World Music and Arts Festival
The Lotus World Music and Arts Festival is one of the oldest world music festivals in the U.S. and the only festival of its kind in the state of Indiana.
Any of Autumn's Parks!
As Naturalist, Autumn's office is whichever park she chooses for the day! A few favorites: Flatwoods Park: Just over 200 acres of natural land, this park features rare bird sightings, endangered ecosystems, and even the exact stopping point of the last glacier to hit the area! Flatwoods Park is also located a few miles away from Indiana's first state park, McCormick's Creek! Jackson Creek Park: Very hidden park with the creek access that features SO MANY GEODES! Limestone Greenway: not techincally a park, but a beautifully paved and shaded trail! Autumn recommends parking at the end near Dillman Rd.
