We were ready to rock your socks off! Nature had other plans. We will be ready for next year!

Due to the extensive rain we have received here in Indianola, we have unfortunately decided to cancel the 2026 Indianola Art Festival. We appreciate your support and look forward to hosting this event in the future.
