Indianapolis Opera: Lobster Palooza!
Jul 26, 2025, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
presented by Indianapolis Opera
Volunteers are needed to help us celebrate the Opera through our 15th annual fundraiser and an experience like no other…
Lobster Palooza!
Lobster Palooza! is an evening of fun, fabulous food, and dancing with Indy’s best revelers! We start off the evening with entertainment and cocktail hour, followed by a true East Coast Lobster Bake! Also featured is our “Fund-A-Need” activity to raise money for our Education Outreach fund, which brings opera at no cost to Indianapolis Public Schools.
Lobster Palooza! is attended by over 200 guests and supports the mission of the Indianapolis Opera. This is a major fundraiser for the Opera Company. Volunteers would be helping bring opera to Indianapolis and the Central Indiana area. The Indianapolis Opera has an extensive Education and Outreach department that reaches out to thousands of children. Please visit indyopera.org/lobsterpalooza for more event specific information.
