Things to Do
Known as the “City of Firsts,” Kokomo sits at the heart of Howard County and offers opportunities and activities for everyone. Located just 40 minutes north of Indianapolis, Kokomo combines the charm of small-town living with convenient access for an easy commute.
Throughout every season, there’s something to enjoy. In the summer, you can catch a Kokomo Creek Chubs game at the local stadium. During the winter months, the stadium transforms into the Frozen Sandlot, where friends gather for ice skating and hot chocolate.
Downtown Kokomo offers a full day of fun, from the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library to the Kokomo Family YMCA. Residents also enjoy the free summer concert series in Foster Park, the seasonal farmers market, and monthly First Friday celebrations for all ages.
For those who love the outdoors, Kokomo features several public parks, sports and water facilities, golf courses, trails, and bike paths. You can even tour Kokomo Opalescent Glass, the oldest manufacturer of colored glass for art and architecture in North America, and see firsthand how artisans have been creating beautiful glass pieces since 1888.
Kokomo also offers a growing selection of locally owned coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and unique boutiques, adding even more character to the community.
