SHIPSHEWANA — The first weekend of May will be filled with family fun in downtown Shipshewana, as the town’s annual Mayfest celebration will be taking place.
You can almost smell the popcorn, taste the ice cream, the greasy but good fair food and hear the crack and screech of fireworks.
Many area festivals and fairs are slated to return in 2021 after COVID-19 wiped out most events a year ago.
âThings are definitely happening in LaGrange County,â said Phyllis Youga, executive director of the LaGrange County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Shipshewanaâs MayFest went off well, with some new events planned and returning events forthcoming.
âWe are seeing a great response,â Youga said. âWe are very pleased with the recovery.â The popular flea market in Shipshewana resumed in May at 85% capacity. Businesses sheâs talked to are also happy with the rebound.
