June’s Hot Pick’s
Here are some ideas around Indy that may sound “cool” during our heat wave!
June 10-11, Italian Street Festival – The traveler in me absolutely loves this time of year. If you can’t make it to Italy this summer, well the Italian Festival is the next best thing. This is truly a day of food, music, culture, and food (did I already say that?). This event runs for two days incase one just isn’t enough! Located at 520 Stevens St, 5pm-11pm. Admission is free; food vendors will be individually priced.
June 10-11, Middle Eastern Festival – Now, here is my theory…hit the Italian Festival one day and the Middle Eastern Festival the next! Since I just arrived home from my trip to Egypt…I recommend going to this festival! The food is great! Don’t worry about the heat, it’s and indoor air-conditioned bazaar filled with food, crafts, and dancing. Located: St. George Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church, 4020 N. Sherman Dr.
Fri: 4-11pm and Sat: Noon-11pm
June 11, Brew-Ha-Ha – In its 10th year running, the Brew-Ha-Ha is one huge block party with ample sampling of the regions best microbrews. All proceeds help support the Phoenix Theatre. Located at the 700 block of N. Park Ave from 3-7pm. Admission is $25. Info: 317-635-7529
June 12, Worlds Largest Water-Balloon Fight – Okay so the kid in me had to mention this one. Here is your chance to help out a great cause by raising money for Fishers Pointe Cooperative Preschool and maybe place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Entrants must throw as many water balloons possible at each other for five minutes. Goggles are required. Located at Holland Park, 2:15pm. Admission: $5 Adults, $3 Children or $12 Family.

June 12-13, Dave Matthews Band– They’re back…..I always enjoy watching Dave Matthews live from the lawn during a warm summer night.

June 17-19, Indy Jazz Fest– Since the last two years had not been as successful; the original format is now back as a three day session.
