Indy's largest food festival returns to White River State Park for the first time in six years.
What's happening: The Taste of Indy will deliver food, games, interactive chef demonstrations, live music and more from 11am-9pm Saturday.
Flashback: The festival made its debut in 2012 and eventually grew into an attraction that attracted more than 18,000 people.
Yes, but: Limited resources led to the cancellation of the event in 2019, and the pandemic made bouncing back from that roadblock even more challenging, according to organizers.
If you go: Tickets are $15 for adults. Kids 10 and under get in free.
