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.

Visitors enjoy a parade, storytellers and music at MayFest (May 5 & 6); two Antique Markets feature 200+ dealers, food and fun (May 19 & August 4); The Fall Crafters Fair honors old-fashioned culture, crafting and song. Don’t miss Shipshewana during the holidays – shopkeepers go all out with decorations and specialty gifts found only in Shipshewana.
