Rock fans won’t want to miss Don Felder, formerly of the Eagles, performing live. Concert weekends bring energy to town — restaurants stay lively, lounges fill with music, and the entire area feels electric.

Jazz Under the Dome – March 20–22

If you’re looking for a romantic or upscale experience, this is one of the best weekends to visit French Lick. Live jazz echoes under the iconic West Baden atrium, creating a relaxing and elegant vibe that pairs perfectly with a weekend getaway.

Spirits & Strings Weekend – March 27–28

This unique event blends bourbon and tequila tastings with songwriter performances. It’s one of my favorite recommendations for couples or groups wanting something different from a traditional night out.

🧘 Wellness Retreats & Relaxing Experiences

March isn’t just about concerts — it’s also a popular time for wellness and self-care travel.

Women’s Wellness Retreat – March 19–22

Guests looking to recharge can enjoy mindfulness sessions, relaxation experiences, and a slower pace. Many visitors choose to stay at French Lick Farms during these retreats to extend the peaceful atmosphere beyond the resort.

Afternoon Tea Under the Dome

Afternoon tea events continue throughout March, offering a classic French Lick experience. Special themed teas — including Mommy & Me events — make this a memorable activity for friends or family trips.

🔥 Seasonal Events & Creative Activities

If you prefer casual, cozy experiences, French Lick offers plenty of smaller events that make a weekend feel special:

• Firepit S’mores Nights beginning mid-March

• Cookies & Canvas painting events

• Weekend lobby music and social gatherings

These moments capture the relaxed charm of the area and are perfect for guests who want a mix of activities without a packed schedule.

🚂 Scenic Railway Rides & Outdoor Adventures

No guide to French Lick in March would be complete without mentioning the French Lick Scenic Railway. As the Hoosier National Forest begins to wake up for spring, the train rides offer peaceful views and unique themed excursions.

March weather is ideal for exploring:

• Scenic train rides through rolling hills

• Hiking trails nearby

• Golf and resort outdoor experiences as temperatures warm

It’s the kind of slow-travel experience people don’t realize they need until they’re here.

Here’s what makes March especially special at the farm:

Guests often tell me they love spending the day enjoying concerts, tastings, or the atrium — then returning to a peaceful space where they can truly relax.
