Several festival villages will be hosting their own events during the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. Tangier is famous for its buried roast beef, and Montezuma for its pig roast.

Bridgeton's national historic district is lined with arts, crafts and foods. Billie Creek Village offers a chance to stroll into the past, as does the Quaker community of Bloomingdale. Rosedale's Civic Center and Mecca's covered bridge dances are a visitor favorite, with Mansfield a shopper's delight.
