The Weekend 5 - Inspiration for your calendar, sent every Thursday morning.
Indy's Got Game - Big Ten Championship Weekend
Saturday's big game pits the #1 and #2 teams against each other at Lucas Oil Stadium, but fans don't need a ticket to feel the excitement. Visit Indy has a game plan for you. Check out the restaurants and bars in the downtown square to cheer with fellow IU and Ohio State devotees, and be sure to visit Fan Fest at the Indiana Convention Center (Friday-Saturday) for the ultimate indoor tailgate with interactive games and challenges, mascots, pep bands, spirit squads, giveaways, and more. One of the highlights is Saturday afternoon's Ale Emporium Hermanaki Wing Eating contest featuring top eaters Joey Chestnut, Miki Sudo, Nick Wehry, and more. Watch these champions achieve glory by cleaning those bones. Costs vary.

Birthday Bash at The Children’s Museum
This event only happens once in a century, so you know Saturday will be a special day packed with 100 years of memories, wonder, and dreams.

Race fans and history buffs...this one's for you. The latest exhibit at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum gives visitors a robust audio/visual history of the 500 using vintage radio, TV, and streaming broadcasts from multiple eras. Explore artifacts and tech that bring the roar of the track to listeners even when they couldn't be physically there. You can even step into the broadcast booth and try your hand at calling a race. Also check out the new Setting the Pace exhibit highlighting the legacy of pace cars. Both are open through June, 2026, and admission is $18 and up.

Hamilton at The Murat
This musical loosely tells the tale of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton's rise to iconic status as a major figure in the American Revolution and first Secretary of the Treasury. It's non-stop songs and action as Lin-Manuel Miranda blows us all away with a play that won 11 Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and received the Pulitzer Prize for drama. You need to be in the room where it happens. You have until December 14 to take your shot. Tickets are $97 and up.

Cheers to the Weekend!
