The TASTE of Tippecanoe is known for its endless bites, good energy, and maybe more than the food; it’s live music! We are proud to announce the 2025 TASTE Entertainment below! Don’t be star-struck by the stages, we have a new entertainment zone for the whole family to enjoy.

Make sure to walk by in their off times too! You might just find someone you know up on the stage.

Art & Family Zone!

You can find our Art & Family Zone in the Depot Parking lot, located right next to our GLDC Stage and the big Depot Stage. This area will have several local artists/arts businesses with interactive art demos that all can participate in. Check out who will be over there below.

  • Tippecanoe Blockprinters Guild
    • The Tippecanoe Printmakers Guild is a local group of self-taught and trained printmakers. You will be able to stop by their booth and get a freshly printed TASTE smile. Learn about the joys of printmaking while getting to print one yourself.
  • Jennifer Dihel Live Event Painter
    • Jennifer Dihel is a local artist who specializes in event paintings. She will be joining us on June 21 to paint a vibrant scene of the TASTE. Stop by to add your own bit of creativity to the scene. She will be letting festival goers help her paint, and by the end of the evening, we will have a scene of one of the largest community gatherings that the community helped to create.

Indy Flowmies

Elevate your energy and raise your vibrations. Guide the flow, feel the flow, power the flow, and unlock the ultimate flow state with magical meditative movement. These aerodynamically designed 8-sided cloth spinning stars will take flight once you find your flow. The Indy Flowmies will be gracing our festival to provide light visuals and good vibes as they flow through the festival. Feel free to stop and ask questions, and they might even teach you to find your own flow!

Flourish-Mobile Art Studio (ART-iana Grande)

Flourish Studio & Classroom is a place for artists at all stages of development to learn and create art in a process-focused environment. Our mission is to enable our artists to grow in personal and artistic aspects by creating, rather than aspire to have a finished product all the same.


– Our studio values meaning in the process and purpose.
– We prioritize the needs of our community and those who are less fortunate. 
– We strive to always be honest, understanding, empathetic, and encouraging, and to create opportunities for all who enter to find their path to their best solution. 
​- Our goal is for this art studio to become a staple in the community and a platform to provide opportunities for programs that help people in need.
