| What To Do In Fountain Square Indianapolis |
What is this Fountain Square, you ask?
This, my friend, is a happening spot just southeast of downtown Indy. Think of it as the city's cool aunt who throws amazing parties (and by parties, we mean art walks, live music, and enough vintage shops to make your credit card cry tears of joy).
But enough chit-chat, let's get to the good stuff: what to do there!
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Channel your inner hipster: Dive into the world of independent shops. Fountain Square boasts a treasure trove of unique finds, from vinyl records older than your grandpa's knee to locally-made jewelry that won't break the bank (or your bohemian spirit).
Unleash your inner artist (or at least pretend to): Admire the works of local artists at galleries, or take a stroll down the street and marvel at the ever-changing murals. You might even spot an artist in action, adding a pop of color to the already vibrant scene.
Indulge your inner foodie (we all have one): From trendy gastropubs to cozy cafes, Fountain Square has something to tickle every taste bud. Grab a plate of gourmet tacos or a slice of pie so decadent it should be illegal (but thankfully, it's not).
Let loose your inner musician (or at least air guitar hero): Catch a live band at one of the many music venues. Indie rock? Check. Bluesy goodness? You got it. Burlesque with a side of jazz? Well, maybe not every night, but hey, keep an open mind!
Embrace your inner child (it's okay, we all do sometimes): Bowl a few frames at the historic (and delightfully retro) duckpin bowling alley. Yes, you read that right, duckpin bowling! It's like regular bowling's cooler, shorter cousin.
But wait, there's more!
Fountain Square also hosts a plethora of events throughout the year, from farmers markets overflowing with fresh produce to art walks that turn the entire neighborhood into a living, breathing gallery.
Basically, there's something for everyone in this quirky Indy gem.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
