Spend the weekend outdoors at the Indiana Dunes Outdoor Adventure Festival, which will take place on September 10-12, throughout the Indiana Dunes region. Packed with outdoor adventure opportunities, the festival will bring together over 50 activities in one weekend. With support from the Indiana Dunes State Park, Indiana Dunes Tourism, and more than a dozen other partners, the Indiana Dunes National Park will host this three-day event.
The festival will showcase the region’s outdoor activities such as hiking, paddling, biking, geo-caching, photography, birding, and so many others. The festival has events for everyone including families, beginners, experts, and those with limited mobility. The festival has been modified to ensure that social distancing and small group sizes can be maintained to reduce the spread of Covid-19. Masks are required inside national park buildings but are optional outdoors.
Highlights of the weekend include a paddling trip on the Little Calumet River, dozens of hikes and bike rides led by experts across the entire region, and access to national park areas not normally open to the public.
