One booth was selling beer but only 2 choices and $7 for an 8oz plastic cup.

It was a gorgeous day and fun to walk around outside but for those seeking authentic German food, music, decor, or memorabilia this event would sadly disappoint.

I tried a $5 TLG sweet guava flavored chicken skewer with 2 toasty toast from The Latin Griller. They corrected my order. Taste was fine.

Taste was OK.

The Saturday morning Noblesville Farmers Market is huge with a parking problem. We arrived around…read more9:30 am and parked across the street. There are no sidewalks or crosswalks, so crossing the street to the market was like a game of Frogger. I counted more than 80 booths at the market. I was struck by the large number of craft booths. Over half the booths were craft booths. I also saw a business selling replacement windows. I was hoping to see more produce since Noblesville is closer to farming communities. We counted about 20 food trucks or vendors selling prepared food throughout the market. I bought a delicious and bodacious breakfast sandwich from a stand selling fresh local meats. The sandwich was tasted excellent and hearty. I was thankful for the high top tables to eat at. We picked up some produce. Vendors were friendly, the market was crowded. I thought prices were a bit high.

Yaaaaas! The cheesy goodness returned and this time, it came to Hamilton County. Wahoo!…read more Despite the hot sun that day, the shade and breeze made it comfortable. Loved piling up my cups of mac and cheese and enjoying them under a tree, like I was having a picnic. The music, knockerballs, etc were fun additions to the scene. Mac and cheese fills you up quickly so I couldn't sample everything but most everything I ate was delicious! Winners for me were the Rail Epicurean cuban and the Local Eatery and Pub's. Really loved seeing local businesses from Noblesville and beyond participating. The herd of people got congested just past the entrance so I would suggest having staffers directing food traffic so it didn't get so backed up. I would also love a "cheat sheet" of who's who - I would enjoy a mac but not know which wonderful restaurant was responsible for the party in my belly! I hope the mac returns in 2018 because I'm there!

I think at this point I'm over mac & cheese for a month because I had so much. I didn't like that cans of pop and water were being sold for $3 but oh well.

Add this event to your fall festival bucket list! One of the best in the central Indiana area. I…read morewent both days to wander around for 2+ hours and explore, as admission is free. The festival features more than 130 juried artists who are each exceptional at their work. This is not a craft fair or flea market; rather, these are high end pieces ranging from paintings to photographs to jewelry and ceramics and beyond. Some of the price tags are high (meaning you could drop $3,000 if you wanted to) but many offer affordable prints of their paintings at a lower cost, for example. I was mesmerized to see the diversity and quality of artwork. Even though there are thousands of attendees, the festival is set up well and flows easily. There are food vendors on-site (would love to see more international cuisine), dance demonstrations and more. My only suggestion is to give it more "international" flair as I'm not really sure why it's called the international arts festival. Perhaps a number of the artists travel from abroad? I'm not entirely sure.

The children really enjoyed seeing all different types of art displayed there. They even got to participate in one of the art exhibits. Carmel High school had a display where the children could choose a number and color that number on a giant Mona Lisa painting. After all the colors were finished, the painting would be displayed at the high school. Do they really enjoy being a part of that. We'll have to get back up there to see how the finished work turned out. There were food vendors out, live music, dance lessons taking place. So a few things to see. It was nice. I enjoyed the fried veggie truck. I can't remember the name but it was good. I will say it would have been nice to see other representation of other cultures here, as it called itself the "International" fair. But definitely a nice event to go do to get some fresh air and see some local art talent.

All…read moreof the profits go toward Orchard Park Elementary School, to help pay for classroom materials, field trips, school programs and teacher support. I attended in 2018, and I have to say, it was really great. There were at least three dozen food and beverage vendors set up in one big, indoor room at the event center, and you can just walk around and take samples from each one. Multiple samples! As many samples as you want! There were particular tables that I kept going back to (hello, endless vodka shots and meatball sliders). I came to the event hungry, and I left full, buzzed and happy. The great thing about Taste of Carmel (besides the fact that it is a fundraiser that directly helps a local school) is that the vendors at the event are all local and from the Indianapolis / Carmel area, so you get to discover new restaurants and businesses during the event. There were a few local distilleries that I had no idea existed in the area, so I was happy to sample their beverages. Parking is abundant at 502 East Event Center, where the event is held. But this event is really popular, so there are busses that will take you to nearby parking lots where there is more parking. I'm looking forward to Taste of Carmel next year!
