Another amazing summer under the sun is coming to a close. Throughout this Market season, we’ve been fortunate to bring some of Indiana’s finest farmers, artisans, and food truck entrepreneurs to the Indiana Government Center campus and spend our lunch hour with fellow state employees each Thursday.

There are two dates left of the 2024 season, Thursday, Sept. 26 and Thursday, Oct. 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The final two markets will have a smaller roster, featuring some favorite local food trucks.

Check out the lineup for both dates here >

This isn’t goodbye, just see you later. The Statehouse Market will return in 2025, but in the meantime – be sure to visit the Market on the final two dates this year. We can’t wait to see you there!
