Since the first CarmelFest Parade and Festival in 1998, business and community organizations have partnered with community volunteers and the Rotary Club of Carmel to celebrate the Independence holiday. This community event is not possible without general support of corporate sponsorships, donations from local businesses and commitments from community leaders.

As a leading local business and community organization located in Carmel, you understand the sense of pride our community has for this very special celebration of the Independence Day holiday. Our city leaders and community volunteers certainly know how to throw a party, but it takes everyone to get involved to make it a festival worthy of our special community. CarmelFest offers an unparalleled opportunity to interact with more than 60,000 central Indiana families and friends to create a safe and compelling event that embodies the reason for celebrating our Independence Day holiday in true form and fashion.
