Top events in Indiana

Indianapolis 500

Dubbed ‘the greatest spectacle in racing’, the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race is an American institution. The automobile race takes place every year in late May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway – 33 drivers contending over 200 laps, 500 miles and loads of entertainment.

Indianapolis Catacombs

Hidden beneath the bustling streets of City Market is a network of subterranean passageways and interconnected tunnels of limestone and brick archways. They were built more than 100 years ago to transport meat and produce for sale in the market. These days you get to emerge from the cool catacombs into the colorful market above, to experience the cafes and delis that still offer deliciously fresh local cuisine.

The ghosts of City West

City West, Indiana’s ‘dream city’, almost rivaled Chicago in the 19th Century. It sprung up in what became Indiana Dunes State Park. Failing to live up to its hoped-for promise, the city was eventually swallowed by the Indiana sand dunes. Make sure to include this stop in your itinerary if you have a penchant for ghost towns, American history or just like the spookier side of exploring.

Schimpff's Confectionery

This candy shop is one of the oldest in the Louisville region. Named one of the state’s hidden treasures, the store is still run by the Schimpff family, who have been in the candy-making business since the 1850s. Locals insist the store is one of the top places to visit in Indiana, especially now the building has been expanded and houses a museum with historical candy memorabilia and homemade candy demonstrations. Look out for their specialties: a caramel-covered marshmallow treat called a Modjeska, hard candy fish and cinnamon red hots.

Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum

This collection of 130 handcrafted art deco cars built in the 1920s delights visitors from around the world with its iconic Great Gatsby style and glamour. The collection is housed in an art deco building and kept in pristine condition.

A living art exhibition in Albany

The Shoe Tree in Albany began as a prank by local teenagers but has become a source of pride for the entire community. Typically, hundreds of shoes hang from the Shoe Tree but the exact number changes depending on the weather and the number of people who choose to participate.
