    Janice beat me to it! Fantastic review! ;) Last night was my first Nite Ride and what can I say? It was a BLAST. First off, the weather couldn't have been better. The volunteers and enthusiastic spirit of the 4,000+ riders is contagious! Can't wait to pimp my bike out for next year's 17 mile ride. The leisurely ride kicks off at Iupui at 11pm and makes its way throughout downtown before heading north to Butler's Campus. Once there, everyone can socialize for a minute, grab complimentary cookies (heyo, fig newtons) and water. One of my favorite parts along the ride is those who stand on their porches and sidewalks changing and cheering us on. At the end of the ride I couldn't help but think, wow, what if we all rode our bikes like this on a daily basis? What would the makeup of Indy be like with masses and enthusiasm like this. Amsterdam knows what's up. Why not this flat grid city in the middle of the heartland too? :)

    Great time to volunteer!

    **Full disclosure, I volunteer with the NITE Ride and co-chair the Route Guide committee** So obviously, I am biased, but I volunteer because I have such strong opinions about how great the NITE Ride is. Chicken and egg, you know. Most of the reviews are from the perspective of participants, so my review will be from the viewpoint of behind the scenes - where the magic happens, if you will. It really takes a village to put on the NITE Ride. Here's just a small window into the coordination and logistics that are considered. A week before the event, construction was scheduled near IUPUI along the route. We knew this because our fearless leader, Yelp Elite's own Jon C., has been in contact with the city for months monitoring the route. Construction is considered, potholes are noted, the route is ridden many times to review and mitigate road hazards. So back to IUPUI. Because of pending construction that may not be completed before the ride, an alternate route is created. We are in daily contact with the paving company to see if they will be able to pave before the ride. Because paving is completed timely, we keep the main route and scrap the alternate route. One little road paving causes days of logistic considerations. I love having this insight because I participated in the ride for years. I mostly loved it, but I had minor complaints here and there. Now, after seeing all the big and little things that go into making the ride a success, I am absolutely amazed and impressed that the event goes so smoothly. And rider safety is paramount - so much effort goes into keeping riders safe, including IMPD blocking traffic, first aid at the ready, and SAG vans to provide mechanical support and bring back disabled bikes and riders. If you've never attended a NITE Ride, you are missing out. And if you've ridden before, join us sometime as a volunteer. I promise, you will have a great sense of pride having a part in putting together this iconic event for Indy.

    Fun event great for all ages and abilities. This is not a race just a ride with 2,000+ riders. Starts at city market with a rest stop at hinkle and back downtown for a pizza party. CIBA takes extreme measures to ensure route is safe with police all over the route. They do there best to make sure streets are in good condition and street lights are working. You can decorate your bike with lights and enter a contest. You can arrive early and do a dinner ride (bring money for diner) usually the ride is in june

    Very well organized event that started and stopped at the city market downtown. The weather was being a bit unpredictable so we waited to register on the evening of the ride. You can register early and save a few bucks and get a free T-shirt too. We arrived at 9 and the ride started at 11. Bikes continually came riding up positioning themselves on market street facing east. The band, "Pork and Beans" played upbeat New Orleans style music while we waited for the ride to start. Mayor Joe Hogset was on hand to lead the ride and he said a few positive words about the organizers and the state of Indianapolis. The more than 2500 riders were released on this approximately 16 mile ride in groups to avoid overcrowding. The streets were all ours and police were present at every intersection so we never had to stop due to traffic, stoplights or anything. At the 7.5 mile marker, which was Butler university, was a planned break spot complete with snacks and bottled water. We were not really ready for a break so we just kept riding. The course took us to the IMA and IUPUI. It was cool seeing the city lit up at night from so many different perspectives. At the end, back at city Market, the organizers had cold pizza and bottled water for the after ride "party". Not much of a party and certainly not a festive or healthy food choice. We had fun and plan on doing it again next year.

    This was my first time attending NITE Ride and I absolutely loved it! I wasn't aware how big this event would be. I enjoyed seeing all the bikes customized with lights. The ride was very humbling and therapeutic in a way. Seeing the city in a different way was pretty cool. I do believe communication could have been better between the organizers, volunteers, and bikers. I'm not sure the raffle prize winner was announced and I wasn't aware of the different starting points for the different color wrist bands. All in all, I enjoyed this event and look forward to attending again next year!

    Let's go!

    My first organized bike ride ~ I loved it! Free parking in lots right across the street from the stadium. Riders of all ages and fitness levels, bikes festooned with colorful lights, and friendly helpers at the BGI tent. Plenty of volunteers to guide us on the streets and police officers to keep the intersections safe. The folks who organized this ride did a great job. Then, Fazoli's afterwards! Mmm garlic bread sticks. This was so much fun, it's as if people don't want to go home. They're still riding around the downtown streets. I'll be back next year!

    Ready to ride

    This is my 2nd NITE ride,and I excited about this new route. It is a well organized event, and the sponsors are on point. Luckily the weather is on our side. I will absolutely make this a yearly event.

    I look forward to the NITE Ride every year. It's a ride put on by the Central Indiana Bicycling Association as a way to get people interested in biking. NITE (which stands for Navigating Indianapolis This Evening) is a ride that usually draws in about 5,000 riders of all ages and skill levels for a 16-17 mile ride through the streets of Indianapolis beginning at 11pm. The ride itself has begun several places over the years, but always includes the same basic route. This year, the event started at IUPUI, went around Monument Circle, headed north to Butler, through the Art Museum and wound its way back downtown via White River Parkway and 16th Street/Indiana Avenue. Riding at a leisurely pace, the event takes between 2-3 hours. Even better, the roads and intersections are blocked by police to allow riders to concentrate on the ride, and not dealing with traffic. This is an awesome way to feel connected to the city, and a great way to stretch out those muscles!

    NITE ride fun times

    It was a fun time with friends and family, the roads we took were very secured with enough safety precautions for drivers and riders, well organized event. Will definitely participate next year. Love the charisma of everyone participating!

Two of us walked over around 9 am to pick them up. Mind you a line had already formed outside and people were already enjoying their strawberry shortcake. So, we go inside and down to the basement of Christ Church Cathedral. So, we're thinking they had 10 shortcakes in a bag, a tub of strawberries in a container, same for the ice cream and whipped cream. So, when we got back we could make our own when we got a chance. NO!!! We get there and we don't even know how long the shortcakes had been sitting on the tables already made!!!! They had so much juice in them that transporting them was a mess in those flip containers they were in. By the time we got back it was mushy. Some of us didn't even eat them they just weren't fresh like you would get if you had them in line. Next year we won't be doing that. I wish they had them separated. My other coworkers were like why were they already made if you weren't even there yet? We were the only customers down there. No one was in the basement picking up orders. :-/ Hopefully next year will be better by going and getting in line. So, if your company or group of 10 want to order ahead know that they might be sitting for who knows how long....

    What better way to spend an Independence Day than with friends, family and great music? I was…read moresurprised by several friends congratulation notifications that I won 2 tickets to this event that I'd already planned on attending. With family in town, we were seeking something that would provide entertainment for all ages. FSMF seemed to have us covered. After checking in with a friend who was already there, we were told there was no food or drinks for the kids, so we packed a cooler and picnic basket and headed out. Parking was easy, the same free lot that I always scope out. We made it over in time to see Kansas Bible Company representing local with each donned in a United States of Indiana shirt. The sound guy made it very uncomfortable to be under the tent to watch the show and pushed many away from the stage with the ear piercing volume that could have been easily managed. No I'm NOT too old - but it was too loud. A friend loaned the grandparents some chairs and we made our way through the crowds to say hello to all. There was a nice selection of local brews from New Day Meadery, Upland and Fountain Square Brewing Company. I saw some little ones running around with face paint, but they had packed up before we got there. The photo booth was a nice all ages addition to the event. Despite the overcast weather, the temps were perfect and the band line up kept the crowd happy. The kids had a blast splashing in the water out front and my teen found an amazing vintage swimsuit at Lux & Ivy who were set up next to United States of Indiana, who sold out of most of their merchandise. I'm sure the FSMF tees would have also sold out if they had been sold. I finally got to see Modoc, a band Elvis Mires has been raving about for ages, and was blown away. Needless to say, they have several new fans in my home. We left before the last band, thanking all responsible for a wonderful day. With this being their inaugural event, I hope the upcoming years may bring some of Ft. Square's best bites such as La Rev (tacos please) or B's Po Boys, or a little Red Lion fish & chips basket, if nothing else some local food trucks. Great job - thank you for a fun Fourth!

A real diverse mix of folks attend. Expect skateboarders, breakdancers, wacky costumes, graffiti artists - that kind of vibe. FMSF used to be on 4th of July weekend but moved up earlier in the calendar to target a music-centric population instead of patriotic partygoers. I think it worked in their favor that it was a beautiful spring weekend. A day pass is $37 ($50 for VIP), but I don't think you have to pay if you just want to stroll around Fountain Square while it's happening - only if you want to see a show (which there are lots of). Pros: -Free parking is easy to find in Fountain Square -So many great local places to eat and drink in Fountain Square! Check 'em out! -50% of all net proceeds benefit Musical Family Tree and Girls Rock Inc. - yay for supporting nonprofits! Note that you must be 21 to buy a pass and attend any shows.

Last night was the third time I attended Harvest Nights. This was the first time I arrived before it was dark so it was less spooky and a bit more wholesome in the daylight. We arrived at 7 and stayed until about 9 pm to experience everything lit up after dark. When you arrive, you're surrounded by stacks of pumpkins in every size, shape, color and type imaginable. Beautiful Fall arrangements are everywhere you look. The Fungi Forest was something new I haven't seen before. Very cool! I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland encompassed by giant mushrooms towering above illuminated by strategically placed neon lights. One of the highlights of the event was the Cutwater Lounge--a 21+ space upstairs in the Lily House transformed into "Mischief Manor" only for Harvest Nights. The bartender told me this was the first year having this feature. We had a flight of the Cutwater alcoholic beverages that included a snack mix of tasty treats. The Mule and Espresso Martini were our favs with the margarita coming in 3rd. Cutwater's take on the Lemon Drop (which is a drink I typically enjoy) was strong yet tasted a bit watered down. The adult only experience wasn't very well marked (it's upstairs) and signage in general--starting at the parking lot entrance--needs improvement. I'm not sure we would have known about the adult area had it not been for the nice lady who sold us some yummy sweet potato fries with sage and bourbon maple dip. The Spider Stomp, Ghost Train and light show projected onto the Lily House all add to the overall experience. The seasonal food and drink options are great albeit a bit pricey. Passed on the $12 Bavarian pretzel but had to try Elysian Pumpkin Ale and wanted to try the cider but $14 was a little steep. It's not necessary to spend $20 for premium parking that they pressure you to purchase when you first pull into the lot. I recommend getting there early and wearing some of your best walking shoes. It's a cashless campus so good to keep that in mind. Love Newfields and can't wait for Winterlights in a couple months!

The festival features more than 130 juried artists who are each exceptional at their work. This is not a craft fair or flea market; rather, these are high end pieces ranging from paintings to photographs to jewelry and ceramics and beyond. Some of the price tags are high (meaning you could drop $3,000 if you wanted to) but many offer affordable prints of their paintings at a lower cost, for example. I was mesmerized to see the diversity and quality of artwork. Even though there are thousands of attendees, the festival is set up well and flows easily. There are food vendors on-site (would love to see more international cuisine), dance demonstrations and more. My only suggestion is to give it more "international" flair as I'm not really sure why it's called the international arts festival. Perhaps a number of the artists travel from abroad?

After all the colors were finished, the painting would be displayed at the high school. Do they really enjoy being a part of that. We'll have to get back up there to see how the finished work turned out. There were food vendors out, live music, dance lessons taking place. So a few things to see. It was nice. I enjoyed the fried veggie truck. I can't remember the name but it was good. I will say it would have been nice to see other representation of other cultures here, as it called itself the "International" fair. But definitely a nice event to go do to get some fresh air and see some local art talent.
