Family Friendly Outdoor Concerts in Indy!

Summer will be in Indy before you know it. What better way is there to spend warm summer nights than by bringing your blanket, a picnic, and the kiddos to listen to your favorite tunes in the great outdoors? Children can play in the grass while you catch up with old friends.  Baby may get lulled to sleep under the stars. Sounds pretty perfect right? Below is a list of many of the free or relatively cheap family friendly outdoor concerts in the greater Indianapolis area this summer.

What are you waiting for? See you there!
