Indianapolis weekend events: Taste of Indy, Weird Al, Indiana Fever and more
Indy's largest food festival is back for another delicious day at White River State Park.
What's happening: The Taste of Indy will serve up food, games, live music and more from 11am-9pm Saturday.
Catch up quick: The festival made its debut in 2012 and grew into an attraction that drew more than 18,000 people.
Limited resources led to the cancellation of the event in 2019, but it made a big post-pandemic comeback last summer.
What they're saying:"Taste of Indy has become more than just a food festival — it's a celebration of our city's culture and creativity," event organizer Jonathan Warren said in a statement.
If you go: Tickets start at $20.
