IU Plans for "Red Hot" State Fair

IU Day at Indiana State Fair to include music, activities and pep rallies
The forecast at the Indiana State Fair will be "Red Hot" next Thursday (Aug. 10), when Indiana University takes center stage at the 150th edition of this treasured Hoosier tradition. More than 50 interactive exhibits, health information from the IU School of Medicine and other IU schools and departments, and three pep rallies will highlight IU Day.

IU's Moveable Feast of the Arts program, which has showcased university cultural resources across the state, is supporting many of the 25 performances by 200 faculty, students, staff and alumni from across the university. Performers will include those from the acclaimed IU Jacobs School of Music and the theatre departments at IU's Bloomington and Kokomo campuses.

The university is inviting the more than 240,000 IU alumni living in Indiana to wear cream and crimson on IU Day and participate in a parade beginning at 6:30 p.m. Activities will be continuous from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and most will take place on IU Boulevard, located next to the Farm Bureau Building by the Gate 12 entrance.
