Plan your winter getaway today!

The winter season in Shipshewana is like nowhere else. Like something out of a Hallmark movie, the town comes to life every day with the smells of fresh baked cinnamon rolls, the jingling bells of shop doors, the clip-clopping of horse’s hooves, and the friendly laughter of people enjoying Shipshewana’s Small-Town Charms.

Whether you’re riding the antique carousel at Davis Mercantile, shopping for unique, handmade gifts on historic Harrison St., sitting down with family and friends to a warm, delicious Amish meal, or catching a show at the Performing Arts Center or Music Hall, you’ll find there just isn’t enough time to do and see everything possible. Plan your dream-like winter getaway today, and make sure you give yourself at least a few days to experience all the Small-Town Charm Shipshewana has to offer.

Small-Town Winter Activities

December is a wintry whirlwind of fun that includes Chocolate Day, Kid’s Day with Santa, a Gingerbread House Competition at Davis Mercantile, and the Christmas Spectacular, NOEL at the MEC!

In March, make sure you catch one of the amazing shows at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center, and then have a wintry blast at Maple Syrup Days!
