Lockerbie's Garden Party

Join us on the grounds of the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home for our 3rd annual Lockerbie's Garden Party.

Each April, we welcome Spring and kick-off our outdoor event season with this free admission, family and pet friendly event!

The garden party features an outdoor market on the grounds, where vistors can shop local vendors featuring plants, flowers, nature artwork, pet apparel and treats, refreshing home decor, books and more!

Have your caricature drawn with four legged best friend by a local artist, Josh Smart. Learn gardening and planting tips from local vendors, and take home your own paw portrait at our dog friendly painting activity. All sales from the non-alcoholic beverage station on-site will benefit Riley Children's Foundation.
