CarmelFest 2025

Mission Statement

Mission Statement: The annual CarmelFest celebration is a premier community event held in the City of Carmel. Founded by the city and the Carmel Clay Chamber of Commerce, CarmelFest has grown into the single largest festival in Indiana. Today, CarmelFest is operated by the Rotary Club of Carmel with the help of business leaders and committed volunteers. The Rotary Club raises money to operate the festival and works with corporate sponsors. Any profits earned from the Festival are put back into the community through a variety of charitable causes. As an all-volunteer organization, the CarmelFest committee strives to involve as many as our citizens as possible in the Event, developing leadership and enthusiasm for our community along the way.
