What else is included in Tri Kappa's Fair on the Square festival?

Danville Tri Kappa's Fair on the Square is an annual community event that draws large numbers of visitors — from Danville and surrounding towns — to the streets surrounding the Hendricks County Courthouse.

It includes more than 100 booths of shopping, live entertainment, locally grown foods and more and is the centerpiece for what has become a popular community weekend.

Taking advantage of the large crowds, other organizations have piggybacked their events, and together, there are several blocks' worth of activities within walking distance of one another. - Danville Parks & Recreation hosts a half-marathon that begins at the southeast corner of the fair activities. - The Danville Fire Department hosts its annual meal stand one block west. - The Hendricks County Historical Museum hosts an open house one block south. - The Danville Public Library hosts its book sale one block east. - The Greater Danville Chamber of Commerce Farmers' Market vendors participate in the vendor area.

Permanent shops, restaurants and the art gallery located along the town square are also open during the event.
