Thanks for visiting us at CarmelFest!

The 4th of July would not be the same without the uplifting patriotic music provided by our community’s own Carmel Symphony Orchestra leading into the best fireworks display in Central Indiana! 

We had a blast visiting with everyone who stopped by the CarmelFest booth to share stories of how classical music has impacted their lives, to find out about our upcoming 2025-2026 season and to show their support for the CSO! 

Thanks to all of our outstanding volunteers who helped put a beautiful booth together for this event. Thanks also to the Rotary Club of Carmel for their work producing this 2-day festival. We look forward to next year.
