For many, October marks the unofficial start to the end-of-year holiday season. Here at Town Planner of Northwest Indiana, we’ve been planning something really big this year. We are passionate about Northwest Indiana and wanted to find a way to celebrate the very best our region has to offer with YOU in the spotlight!
Introducing “Northwest Indiana’s Favorite Things”

From hidden gem boutiques to the perfect gift shop to must-have innovative products, we want to know what makes your Northwest Indiana experience truly special. We are looking for one-of-a-kind items that you can only find in Northwest Indiana.
Why We’re Doing This
Northwest Indiana is more than just a place on the map – it’s a vibrant community of businesses, people, and experiences that make our region unique. We believe it’s time to shine a spotlight on the local treasures that make our community thrive.
