Hatch Fest (the event formerly known as Maker Faire) will be held on Saturday, June 17, 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with Juneteenth Celebration and St. Michael’s Strawberry Festival
HATCH stands for Hamilton County Arts, Technology, Craft, and Heritage, and this festival is a multi-faceted celebration of all that makes Hamilton County such a wonderful place! Artisans, Makers and Craftspeople from Noblesville and surrounding areas will have amazing one-of-a-kind creations to sell and area nonprofits and businesses will be on display around the Courthouse Square with activities, demonstrations, performances and more. This event combines the St. Michael’s Strawberry Festival, SERVE Noblesville’s F.U.N. fest, and a gathering of makers and artists from Nickel Plate Arts, and Juneteenth festivities. Support local emerging entrepreneurs, do some Father’s Day shopping, celebrate Juneteenth, and grab some strawberry shortcake! We can’t wait to see you this June.
