Batesville Mainopoly moves to May

Batesville, IN — The third annual Mainopoly family event in downtown Batesville is shifting from a single-day event in September to a two-day event this year on May 12 and 13.

As part of this move, Batesville Main Street (BMS) will partner with Batesville Kiwanis to enhance the latter organization’s already popular carnival weekend.

After receiving feedback from local businesses, the Batesville Main Street Events and Promotions committee looked for an alternate date that was away from event-heavy September and one that would benefit downtown businesses and the families who attend Mainopoly.

Organizers say the move to a two-day event gives flexibility to businesses to offer hours that are convenient to their staff and patrons.

The popular “Touch-A-Truck” portion of the event will take place on Saturday, May 13 from 11 am until 1 pm at Romweber Marketplace.

The Fastest Kid in Town will be held on a different date. You’re asked to follow Kids Discovery Factory for updates about that particular event.
