Festival History:

Dating back to the days following World War I, Ligonier's festivals and holidays were observed as a time for parades, fireworks, carnivals, hot-air balloons, family gathers and great celebration of local history. As servicemen returned to Ligonier at the close of World War II, the need for celebration and recollection of Ligonier's history was revived in the form of an annual Labor Day festival which drew together the workers from factory, farm and stores. This annual festival was given the name Strawberry Valley Days, reflective of the days past when early settlers found bountiful patches of strawberries growing along the Elkhart River. Attracted by the beauty of the river and the succulent berries, pioneers established a small settlement which would later grow into Ligonier as we now know it. In 1991, the name of the festival was changed to the Ligonier Marshmallow Festival so that our community could take pride in one of the major products produced in Noble County.

The Ligonier Marshmallow Festival is a nonprofit organization that is completely run by volunteers and donations. Without the support of sponsors, we could never experience the success that we have had over the years. The festival has become a part of the Ligonier community; Labor Day just wouldn't be the same without the chance to enjoy the festival and celebrate what a great community we live and work in. We are striving to make the festival the best in the area, and we are very appreciative of the support we get from the community and surrounding area. We appreciate your support, as without it, this festival would not be possible.

Ways in which you can support the festival:
1. Give of your time and/or skills. We are always in need of volunteers to man events.
2. Donations we are always in need of funds to assist with festival expenses. There is no limit to the amount of your contribution as $20 goes a long way. The festival is a 501c4 organization.
