The first ever Square Arts Festival on September 28, 2024 was a success, although it was not at all what was planned! The day before the festival, when everything was supposed to be set up, Hurricane Helene's rainstorm and high winds reached Paoli and forced the frantic scrambling to figure out how to move everything that was supposed to be on the courthouse lawn indoors. 

In true Hoosier Hospitality and community spirit, local businesses stepped up and opened their spaces so that vendors, projects, activities, and musicians could move inside!

Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
