July’s Hot Pick’s
If sitting next to the air conditioner sounds a little boring, maybe some of these events might get your day, or night going…
July 1, Santana– If chillin’ under the starlit sky sounds good to you, then Verizon Wireless Music Center should be your destination tonight. Carlos Santana along with Los Lonely Boys, and his son’s band, Salvador Santana Band will be strumming some of the best Latin music around! Tickets: $38.50-$46.50 (pavilion) or $20.00 (lawn). Show starts at 7pm. Info: 317-239-5151
July 1-4, Glorious Fourth-This is my top pick for those having guests coming to town. This is the largest celebration held at Conner Prairie. Enjoy old fashioned ice cream while watching the marching militia, baseball games, and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. You can make this a full day by staying for Symphony on the Prairie topped off with their traditional fireworks show. Located: Conner Prairie, check for times. Tickets: $7 for children ages 5-12 and $11 for 13 and older. (Additional charges apply if staying for Symphony.)
July 7-17, Indiana Black Expo-This is another top pick on my list. Indiana is home to the largest African-American event in the country. Come enjoy a day of culture, music, arts, and more as the Black Expo celebrates its 35th year! Located: Indiana Convention Center and RCA Dome, times vary. Admission: $8 in advance, $10 at the door.
Info: 317-925-2702

July 21, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers– Anyone to write a song about my hometown (San Fernando Valley, CA) is a winner in my heart! Join Tom and the crew along with opening band, Black Crowes (yes they are back together again) for a great night of rock n’ roll. Located: Verizon Wireless Music Center, 7pm. Tickets: $45-$58 (pavilion) or $28 (lawn) Info: 317-239-5151
July 16-24, RCA Tennis Championships– Okay, I work with a lady who takes vacation time off every year when the tennis championships come to town…this must be worth seeing!
