Greenfield Things To Do

by Bryan Johnson on August 11, 2009

Hancock County Courthouse in Greenfield, IndianaThough it’s only a suburb of its large neighbor, Indianapolis, Greenfield, Indiana still has plenty of things to do for residents and visitors. The Indiana city is host to a wide range of Greenfield attractions and Greenfield events, and Greenfield parks are a welcome respite from the smog and clutter of city life. Just a short drive away from downtown Indianapolis, things to do in Greenfield can make for a nice break in your busy schedule.

A good time to head east to Greenfield is during the summer months, when Greenfield events are in full swing. The Riley Festival, an annual celebration of Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley, takes place every summer in downtown Greenfield. The festival features an arts and crafts fair, live Greenfield music, the Riley Festival parade, and the Children’s Parade of Flowers.

These Greenfield things to do rival some of the best Indianapolis fairs and festivals.

Stage show at Carnegie's Restaurant in Greenfield, IndianaFor a culinary break from Indianapolis restaurants, there are a number of Greenfield restaurants to excite your palate. The Bread Ladies Cafe bakes their own artisan bread and features sandwiches, baked goods, and live music. Greenfield is also home to Carnegie’s Restaurant, located in the old public library building; Annie’s Restaurant, a family dining establishment; The Riley House, another tribute to James Whitcomb Riley; and Mi Casa, a Mexican restaurant.

Things to do in Greenfield encompass a wide range of activities and events. Watch the parade during the Riley Festival, have a bite to eat at Bread Ladies Cafe, or bask in the sun at Riley Park; whatever you want to do, Greenfield has something for you!
