Description

PaoliFest is a completely free music and arts festival in Paoli, Indiana. Featuring a diverse musical lineup that places local youth musicians on the same stage as international headliners, PaoliFest offers multiple genres of music on two stages, a kids stage and art area with all-day programming, community-driven art creations such as mural painting, craft demonstrations, food and art vendors and a teen film fest. PaoliFest aims to center art and music as core values of the community, to celebrate diversity, empower youth, encourage expression, and facilitate relationship-building through an annual festival celebration. The Annual HeARTland Hustle 5k Art Walk and and Run will debut on April 13, 2019. The theme of the first year is a celebration of Margaret Hamilton, a Paoli native who invented the software for the Apollo Space program. Hamilton is the recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work. A permanent outdoor sculpture inspired by Hamilton is being commissioned, and will be unveiled at the event. There will also be art creations by regional artists and local youth throughout the route, which will travel through historic downtown Paoli, highlighting treasured landmarks, buildings and parks.
