About this event

The Feast of the Hunters' Moon is a historical reenactment festival held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River. The event recreates an 18th-century fall gathering of French and Native Americans at Fort Ouiatenon, a replica fur-trading outpost. The festival features multiple stages with performances, military reenactments, demonstrations, and interactive activities. Food booths operated by nonprofit organizations and local groups are central to the event, selling period-authentic cuisine. Visitors also find artisans, craftspeople, and heritage demonstrators. The 30-acre site draws thousands of participants and spectators. Entry is ticketed, and the event runs Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 9am-4pm. It attracts regional and national attendance and serves as a major fundraiser for the Tippecanoe County Historical Association.
