Year-round Special Events

Shipshewana is a bustling village with shop-lined streets, specialty retailers and home-style dining establishments.  Shoppers search for handcrafted items, baked goods and whatnot in picturesque turn-of-the-century storefronts. The Midwest’s largest flea market brims with serious shoppers and the simply curious. Horse pulled buggy rides through town and into the countryside are a welcome diversion for weary feet. A strong Amish culture ensures a family friendly atmosphere and closed shops on Sunday.  Families will also find an abundance of fun entertainment – choices include the Mousetrap Puppet Theater, Blue Gate Theater, the Hostetler Hudson Auto Museum and the area’s largest indoor water park resort. Lodging options range from full-service hotels and cozy bed and breakfasts to RV friendly campgrounds.
