Tracing its history back to 1957, this year’s Parke County, Indiana Covered Bridge Festival is set to begin this Friday, October 9th; and will run through Sunday, October 18th.
Nine different Festival Communities within the Parke County region will once again help celebrate the area’s 31 historic covered bridges.
