Arts in Indianapolis

We got out this weekend to enjoy Irvington Halloween Fest! Irvington is an incredible historic neighborhood on Indy's east side. It hosts Indy’s very best Halloween festivity in our opinion. They have a parade, a vampire run, costume competitions, oodles of local vendors, food trucks, and booths, and more!

Check out their video recap here ▶️

Most importantly, we got the incredible “Mother Clucker” sandwich from our absolute favorite food truck, That Vegan Joint.

The Pacers are in Eastern Conference Finals and the energy in Indy is next level right now. The only thing louder than Gainbridge Fieldhouse? The entire state of Indiana cheering them on. 🔵🟡 This is what Hoosier pride looks like—whether you’re a lifelong fan or just moved here through MakeMyMove (hey 👋), there’s no better time to be part of this community. Live here. Work here. Cheer here.

Let’s gooooo, Pacers! 💪🔥

The Get IN. podcast is a great resource for those looking to find out more about Indiana's hidden gems through the local stories of inspiring Hoosiers. Highly recommend checking it out – I've lived in Indy for years and learn something new each time I tune in!

If you're passionate about live music, Indianapolis is the perfect place to find some truly unforgettable shows. I've been attending concerts here for over four years, and have loved discovering all the ways to experience the city’s diverse music scene. Whether it’s catching outdoor shows like Rock the Ruins or exploring local venues, I know Indy always has something for me!

Two decades ago my wife and I made the decision to relocate from the northeast to Indiana. Both of us grew up in the northeast, most of our family is located there and we knew no one in Indianapolis. The motivation for the move was to achieve a better quality of life. What we discovered far exceeded our expectations! Yes it's true, the cost of living is much more reasonable, especially when it comes to rent or purchasing a home. That's only the tip of the iceberg. Our average daily commute to work takes a fraction of the time it used to. You can beat the weather! Spring starts in mid March where a few days will reach the 70's. By mid April you will have temperatures in the 80's and the summer is warm, but very tolerable. If you enjoy spending time outdoors and dining, that will extend until the end of October into the first weeks of November. The truly cold days of winter really only last from mid December until the end of February. Snow is minimal with only 10-15 inches a season in the past few years. Coming from the northeast it was always depressing how early it gets dark. In Indianapolis, it will stay light out past 9:30 PM in the summer months! Combine all that with the many restaurants, parks, sports venues, bike trails, museums, innovative businesses and you have a great place to live. What really makes the community so special are the people. Indianapolis allows people to be who they are. Hoosiers are eager to see each other succeed and the community prosper.
