Crothersville’s Red White & Blue Festival is known as Indiana’s most patriotic festival proudly saluting our nation’s flag and honoring  our veterans. During the four day festival the population of the small southeastern Jackson County community will Atleast double its population with family and friends eager to enjoy the first festival of the season in Jackson County. Take a family reunion, combine it with a Fourth of July picnic, sprinkle in a dash of amusement park and stir with some hometown pride and you have the ingredients of a patriotic festival. Back in 1976 all the communities were encouraged to organize some sort of Bicentennial birthday party to commemorate the nation’s 200th birthday. 

Knowing that a lot of other communities would be planning events around July 4th on other festivals and choose Flag Day weekend. The Red White and Blue Festival has been held the second weekend ever since. It was suppose to be a one time celebration but there was such a positive community response that we continue to hold the festival. We are one of the longest running celebrations in existence in the United States. Honoring our Veterans and paying tribute to Old Glory is what we’re all about. Come celebrate our Independence with us!
