ToggleJuly in Brown County means long days, warm nights, and a packed calendar of summer fun. From fireworks and music festivals to art workshops, magic shows, yoga on the lake, and all kinds of live entertainment, there’s no shortage of events in Nashville, Indiana in July—and they’re happening every single day.
If you’ve ever found yourself clicking around a dozen Facebook pages to figure out what’s happening during your visit, I’ve been there too. I live in Brown County and own the Brown County Barn Burner, and I started pulling together these monthly event calendars to help our guests—and now anyone else!—make planning their next trip to Brown County a whole lot easier.
Below, you’ll find everything organized by week so you can quickly scan what’s going on and make the most of your stay. I update this regularly, and I’ve linked to event hosts wherever possible—but it’s still a good idea to double-check on social media before heading out, since schedules can shift last-minute.
Looking for even more ideas? Don’t miss my full guide to things to do in Brown County in July (coming soon)!
**NOTE** I do my best to keep this list up to date—and I’ve linked the best sources I could find for each event below—but events can and do change, especially around here.
Always double-check with the venue or organizer before heading out. Facebook is usually the best place to find the most current or last-minute updates. If you notice something missing or outdated, feel free to message me so I can get it fixed!
