July Social
2019-07-28 18:00 - 20:00 | Daredevil Hall, 2721 E 86th St Ste 180, Indianapolis, IN, 46240, United States
This month’s social will be at Daredevil Hall, a gastropub in the new Ironworks Hotel in the Keystone at the Crossing area. They were listed on Indianapolis Monthly’s Best New Restaurants of 2019. Here’s what they had to say about it:
Daredevil Brewery moved its southeast-Indy production to Speedway’s rejuvenated Main Street in 2015, which seemed a fitting change of address for a craft-beer–maker with a vintage motorsport helmet as its logo. But then, the brand’s latest scene change early this year was into a ground-level spread at the luxurious Ironworks Hotel complex, which sounds like an infield-to-paddock upgrade. Luckily, the new location is as laidback and chug-friendly as its predecessor, even with a pristine 4,200-square-foot space and a menu created and hyped by local star chef Neal Brown (of Pizzology, Libertine, and Ukiyo).
Blue-jeaned, black-T-shirted servers wield flights of Daredevil’s award-winning beers and solid advice on food-and-drink pairings. The menu ranges from burgers and huge platters of poutine to German beer-hall standards, like a locally stuffed currywurst, a crispy chicken schnitzel sandwich, and a selection of spaetzles—including one with braised oxtail, onion marmalade, and a poached egg. You can sit in the bar or in the echo chamber of a dining room with wood-topped community tables and a kid’s menu, those wholesome indicators of the family-friendly brewery concept. And that says more about where you are in life than how much fun you want to have with it.

IPL 500 Festival Parade
2019-08-22 08:00 - 14:00 | Downtown Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, United States
UPDATED: The Indianapolis 500’s postponement to Aug. 23 is shifting the celebrations and events that usually happen in the days preceding it.
The IPL 500 Festival Parade will now take place Aug. 22. Off the Grid, the red-carpet celebration with celebrities and civic leaders, will be the evening before on Aug. 21. The parade and Off the Grid had previously been scheduled for May 23. Both are hosted by the nonprofit 500 Festival organization.

Original Post: The 500 Festival, a not-for-profit volunteer organization, was created in 1957 to organize civic events celebrating the greatest race in the world. Over the past 60+ years, the 500 Festival has grown to become one of the largest festivals in the nation.
Each year, 500,000 Hoosiers and visitors participated in festival activities throughout the month of May. Whether they were athletes running the Mini, fourth grade students participating in the Education Program, families enjoying the state’s largest festival for kids, or spectators being dazzled by one of the nation’s premier parades, they were there, celebrating the legacy.
Volunteer with us this year at the IPL 500 Festival Parade. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available and would love to add you to our roster!

We are putting a few additional twists to the festival experience. Being that we started mainly with comedy shows at Mad Hatter, we are bringing comedy to the festival. Not only comedic bands performing as part of the music shows, but also additional stand-up comedy acts that can be seen separate at the festival. In addition to the music and comedy at the festival we are looking to include vendors, camping and more.
