Each year on the last weekend in August, Fontanet enjoys the Annual Fontanet Bean Dinner Festival, a tradition stemming from a Civil War veterans' picnic first held in 1890. The festival was originally held on land near the DuPont Powder Mill. After the mill exploded in 1907,〔("Fontanet, Indiana Du Pont Powder Company Explosion October 15, 1907 ": Basalt Journal Colorado )〕 the picnic moved to the site known as Holloway Grove, donated by local landowner Bill Holloway.〔("Hundreds gather for 113th Annual Fontanet Bean Dinner Festival": Terre Haute News )〕
