Every year, the Indiana State Fair returns to Indianapolis with sizzling Fair foods, iconic animals, toe-tapping music, good vibes from the barns to the grandstand, and sights, sounds and fun for the whole family. This year, there’s even a blood drive that helps Indiana families thrive.

Versiti’s Indiana State Fair Blood Drive offers 15 opportunities to give blood over 17 days, from August 1–17, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. (No blood drives on Mondays.) The blood drive takes place in the fairgrounds at Celebration Park, near the Midway rides. Scroll down to make an appointment at your preferred date and time – or simply walk over to the Versiti bus.

Get your heart pumping and donate blood! All blood donors will receive:

  • Get $10 in Fairbucks
  • A spin on our prize wheel with a chance to win free T-shirts and other giveaways.

Plus, don’t miss an appearance from our mascot, Beacon the Bear, who’ll be showing off its skills in a mascot challenge on Aug. 1.

Our partnership with the Fair, plus strong support from blood donors and fairgoers like you, elevates the fair-going experience from mere fun into something greater – a chance to make a real difference in the lives of Indiana families.

So turn up the volume, turn up the memories and celebrate summer by saving lives!

Someone might get into an accident or need to go into a hospital for surgery, and they assume blood will be available. But it doesn’t come from Amazon Prime!
