31 Things to do in July in Indy

It’s hard to believe July is here. It’s the last full month before school starts, so we’ve packed the calendar with lots of great activities to make the most of every day. Here are a few of our top picks for every day of the month.

Things to Do in Indianapolis in July

With so many Independence Day celebrations wrapping up this month, where will you spend your July 4th? There are 4th of July parades, 4th of July festivals, and 4th of July Fireworks. Several 4th of July events take place in June, but there are still many that take place on the actual holiday.

Summertime tends to bring out the most opportunities to see free summer movies at the movie theater, movies in the park, and lots of other outdoor movies. It’s also a great season to head to the drive-in movie theater. Newfields has a Summer Nights movie series.

Splash pads and swimming pools are the best ways to stay cool in Indy. Have you seen the Indiana waterparks that are close to Indianapolis?

Summer time is a great time for a night hike. Many local parks and recreation programs offer organized night hikes. If there’s not one near you, head outdoors and chase fireflies!

Have you ever been on a river tube float? We love floating down the river in an inner tube. There are so many places that offer a river tubing trip, some of our favorite places to do this are Turkey Run’s Sugar Creek and the White River in Hamilton County.

Play hard at a favorite Indianapolis playground. Some favorite parks are Inlow Park, Colts Canal Playground, West Park and Greenwood City Park.
