August 18, 2020: The Indiana Covered Bridge Society has passed along this information concerning the 2020 Parke County Covered Bridge Festival.
"The 2020 Covered Bridge Festival has been cancelled. A vote was cast to cancel the festival at The Parke County Commissioners Meeting this evening. "
"We know many look forward to our 10 day fall festival, but we still encourage you to come enjoy Parke County’s beautiful fall foliage and covered bridges. Take a slow paced day or two to enjoy our state parks, unique restaurants, and visit our year-round small businesses for shopping, antiques and more. Thank you for your continued support of #ParkeCounty!"
