When we think of preservation, our minds naturally turn to the beautiful old homes, historic buildings, and architectural treasures that tell the story of our community. And while protecting those places remains at the heart of what we do, preservation extends far beyond bricks and mortar.
Last weekend was a beautiful example of how we celebrate and share our community’s architectural heritage through our 39th Annual Historic Home Tour and Noblesville Main Street’s Downtown Unseen! Together, these events offered opportunities to explore the places, discover the stories, and celebrate the generations of people who helped shape the Noblesville we know and love today.
However, the history of a community isn’t found exclusively within its buildings. It lives in its people, their creativity, their traditions, and the experiences they share. And those are equally worthy of preservation.
Music and the arts have been part of the human experience for thousands of years. Long before the buildings we now consider historic were constructed, people were gathering to share music, express themselves through art, celebrate traditions, and enjoy the simple experience of being together. These are traditions equally worthy of preservation.
After all, what would historic downtown Noblesville be without the people who bring it to life? The individuals who open their doors each morning, welcome us into their shops and restaurants, and breathe life into the historic buildings we work so hard to preserve are just as much a part of our community’s story as the structures themselves.
What would our community become if we chose to only preserve its buildings but failed to nurture the creativity, individuality, and sense of belonging that have always existed within them?
Preserving our community means preserving opportunities for people to come together, supporting those who contribute to its cultural identity, and ensuring that the traditions we create today have the opportunity to become the cherished memories of tomorrow.
That is why the Noblesville Preservation Alliance is proud to be a Stage Sponsor of this year’s FEVERDREAM. Halloween Music, Arts, and Resources Festival, taking place this Saturday, October 10th!
Now in its third year, this FREE community festival will bring together 55 original musical acts, local artists, and a wonderful variety of creative experiences. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the talents of local individuals while bringing people together in the heart of the community we all cherish.
We are beyond thankful for everyone involved in organizing this event, and for their commitment to showcasing original music, supporting local creativity, and creating another opportunity for our community to gather.
The festival runs from noon to midnight, with the main outdoor festivities taking place from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m.
We hope you’ll come downtown, enjoy the music, explore the arts, support the merchants on our square, the vendors, and experience another wonderful example of what makes the City of Noblesville, Ind. such a special place to not only call home, but a place where we welcome visitors like family.
The greatest things we preserve aren’t always things we can see or touch. Sometimes, they’re the traditions we carry forward, the memories we create, and the sense of belonging we share.
Preservation begins with people and we hope you all join us this weekend for a day of togetherness, celebrating preservation through tradition, music and arts!
