So you're thinking about hitting up Indianapolis in June? Buckle up, buttercup, because Indy in June is like a Midwestern fiesta – festivals, sunshine, and enough to keep you busy without needing to, you know, spelunk for bat caves (although, maybe that's on the hidden gems list?).
Here's your survival guide (because let's face it, navigating a new city can be a jungle) to June in Indy:

| What To Do In Indianapolis In June |
Embrace Your Inner Art Buff
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
- Talbot Street Art Fair: This legendary event is basically a free, outdoor art museum with over 270 artists slinging their creative wares. Think paintings, sculptures, jewelry – enough to make your Instagram followers jealous (or maybe confused by your sudden burst of culture?).
- Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA): The IMA is an Indy staple, and June is the perfect time to explore their gorgeous outdoor spaces. Think art installations, lush gardens, and maybe even a spot of people-watching (because sometimes entertainment is free!).
Channel Your Inner Athlete (or Enthusiastic Spectator)
- Indy Pride Festival: June is Pride month, and Indianapolis pulls out all the stops with a vibrant festival and parade. It's a celebration of love, acceptance, and maybe some killer dance moves (who are we to judge your rainbow flag boogie?).
- 5k Beer Run: This is exactly what it sounds like: a 5k run that ends with beer. Need we say more? (Although, maybe train a little before you blame the craft brews for that questionable finish line dance).
Chill Out and Soak Up the Vibes
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
- Indiana Central Canal: Rent a paddleboat, have a picnic, or just take a stroll along this scenic waterway. It's the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring (or recovering from that 5k beer run... no judgment!).
- Concerts in the Park: June is prime time for outdoor concerts in Indy. Pack a blanket, grab some snacks (and maybe some adult beverages, it is summer after all), and enjoy some live music under the stars.
Bonus: Don't Miss Out On...

- Hot Air Balloon Rides: See Indy from a whole new perspective with a hot air balloon ride. Just be prepared to answer a million questions from confused pigeons about your UFO-looking contraption.
- Indianapolis Zoo: Home to amazing animals, educational exhibits, and the occasional grumpy penguin (hey, nobody's perfect), the Indy Zoo is a great option for a fun-filled day.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
How-To FAQs:
How to find the Talbot Street Art Fair? Just Google it! (Seriously, it's a big deal).

So there you have it, folks! Your guide to having a blast in Indianapolis this June. Now get out there and explore (and maybe avoid spelunking for bat caves... unless that's your thing, no judgment here in Indy).
