Hammond Port Authority

Festivals & Events

Join us this summer for two of Northwest Indiana’s most popular festivals!

  • Festival of the Lakes is Hammond’s exciting, feature-packed annual celebration of music and entertainment for all ages. Carnival rides, food booths, game booths, dancing, and headlining musical acts highlight 5 days of family-friendly amusement at Wolf Lake.
  • Pierogifest is Whiting’s world-renowned celebration of food, fun and music. Honoring the venerable Pierogi, this tongue-in-cheek festival has been featured on the Food Network, Travel Channel, and Oprah’s Top Festivals.
