Indy's largest food festival is back for another delicious day at White River State Park.
What's happening: The Taste of Indy will serve up food, games, live music and more from 11am-9pm Saturday.
Catch up quick: The festival made its debut in 2012 and grew into an attraction that drew more than 18,000 people.
- Limited resources led to the cancellation of the event in 2019, but it made a big post-pandemic comeback last summer.
What they're saying: "Taste of Indy has become more than just a food festival — it's a celebration of our city's culture and creativity," event organizer Jonathan Warren said in a statement.
If you go: Tickets start at $20.
