Event Venue & Lodging Information

The “All-El Camino MEGA Show”: ELCOFEST ’25

returns to “The Barns at Nappanee” in historic Nappanee, Indiana.

The venue features an Amish-lifestyle farm experience tour in which one can “Embrace the Pace” of our local Amish heritage community.

“The Barns at Nappanee, Home of Amish Acres, looks forward to continuing the legacy of Amish Acres and adding new and exciting events and ideas to the farm.”

(So we’re bringing out the El Camino’s…LOTS of El Camino’s!)

Note that there have been major recent facility ownership change developments with The Barns.

The property will be up for auction and will likely be sold by the end of August but we are still good to go for this year.

ELCOFest ’25 IS STILL ON!

We currently do not have any idea what this change will mean for ELCOFest at this venue in the future but we will be working on it one way or another!

Food & Dining Options

The recent facility ownership change developments will affect our food options and we will now be using Food Trucks.

Panther’s Pizza and Fox’s Smokin’ Grill will be on site serving us!

PLEASE STAY TUNED for any Additions!

“Escape to The Barns at Nappanee in Nappanee, Indiana and share the heritage of century old craftsmanship and agriculture. Time stopped over a century ago and is preserved, in the Amish, a way of life adhering to nearly forgotten patterns of living in today’s fast paced world. The legacy of the three generations of the family who lived here is seen and felt through a nostalgic visit to the farm and homestead.”
