Why It Matters
Lord’s Acre is made possible through volunteers, donors, community partners, local businesses, and generations of people who have shared their time, talents, and generosity.
What to Expect
Come hungry. Lord’s Acre favorites include fish sandwiches and tacos, chicken sandwiches, tenderloins, coney dogs, funnel cakes, and more.
And yes — we still claim the Best Fish Sandwich in Indiana.
Homemade Chicken & Noodles begin Saturday at 11 a.m. and are served until they’re gone — and they have a reputation for going quickly.
Explore a growing marketplace of local makers, artisans, small businesses, direct-sale vendors, and community organizations.
Browse donated experiences, gift cards, themed baskets, entertainment, handmade pieces, local favorites, and much more.
Enjoy live music throughout the festival, including Friday evening entertainment and Saturday performances from local musicians.
Face painting, balloon twisting, a bounce house, Gaming Ninjas, Barnyard Party Pals, and other activities give families plenty to explore.
A Legacy of Faith, Generosity, and Community
The Lord’s Acre Festival began in 1952 when members of the congregation gave from what they had to help support the work and future of the church. Some gave from crops. Others gave from eggs, business earnings, handmade goods, or whatever they could offer.
Seventy-four years later, that same spirit continues. Lord’s Acre remains a community tradition rooted in faith, generosity, hospitality, and many hands working together for a shared purpose.
We’ll See You at Lord’s Acre
Bring your family. Bring your friends. Come hungry, stay awhile, and be part of a McCordsville tradition that has been bringing people together since 1952.
All proceeds benefit McCordsville United Methodist Church.
