Lobster Palooza!
Lobster Palooza! is an evening of fun, fabulous food, and dancing with Indy’s best revelers! This year’s event will be held at the home of Indianapolis Opera, The Basile Opera Center.
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.

They would also monitor ancillary areas, such as the outdoor patio areas and make sure all is kept tidy.
