The New Harmony Business Associates Education and Activities Fund has announced its slate of Festivals for 2021. We are so thrilled to be able to resume our wonderful festivals in New Harmony that so many missed last year,” said Jane Griffiths, the association president in 2021. “We are known throughout the Tri-State area as the home to great festivals and fun and this year’s events will be some of the most exciting, we have held! We can’t wait to get started!” Festival events are dependent on Health Department approval at the time of the events.

Kunstfest is the Tri-States’ biggest festival and celebrates New Harmony’s deep German heritage! This year’s festival on September 18 & 19 will feature a German Bier Garten, great German food and music, as well as over 200 vendors!

New Harmony has been an artistic cultural center for many years. Arts in Harmony is a festival dedicated to celebrating and featuring art of many forms.

A Christmas parade Saturday morning kicks off a host of events including a tour of some of New Harmony’s beautiful homes decorated for Christmas, a host of top flight vendors featuring Christmas items, and of course – lots of food and shopping at New Harmony’s charming shops and eateries.
