After a blockbuster debut last year, All IN returns Saturday and Sunday as the perfect blend of great music, great food, and great drinks with indoor and outdoor concert stages, easy parking, real restrooms, amazing seats, general admission floor access, beer garden and stations, cocktail bars (complete with the All IN signature cocktail), arts and crafts, merch, and free water refill stations.  The Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center hosts headliners Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Tenacious D, Andy Frasco & The U.N., Umphrey's McGee, Trey Anastasio & Classic Tab, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and Neighbor, as well as Beatles and Led Zeppelin dreamsets, and much more. Tickets are $50 and up.

It's Indy's ultimate downtown adventure. Walk, jog, or run past iconic venues and landmarks Saturday, and have one-of-a-kind experiences like running the bases at Victory Field and shooting a basket at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Experience the city like never before and make incredible memories on the 3.5-mile loop. Your $35 registration includes a t-shirt, medal, and post-race party. There is no race day registration.

Saturday is the 56th anniversary of Indiana's Nicest Day, a family-friendly tradition with more than 300 artists, kids area, local food, beer garden, and multiple entertainment stages for dance, blues, folk, jazz, rock, symphony, and more. Tickets are $20. Friday is An Evening with Penrod, an unforgettable adult experience with Indys largest bar, handcrafted cocktails, delectable bites, entertainment, and fireworks. Tickets are $150.

Millions of people engage in sacred journeys every year and this new exhibit lets visitors explore more than a dozen locations around the world where people experience illumination, perform acts of faith, or seek spiritual fulfillment. See the oldest "living" synagogue in the Americas, Christian sites in biblical holy lands, a famous African building, a bustling square housing 55 Hindu temples, Easter Island (pictured), a Buddhist temple, and artifacts from religions around the world, like fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls and a replica of the Shroud of Turin. They're all on display through April 7, 2024. Admission is $22.50 and up.

The Eiteljorg hosts this annual sale of masterpieces capturing moments from the American West Friday-Sunday. Meet the artists, enjoy food, listen to tales from guest speaker Jim Hatzell (an exceptional artist and expert on the subject), and place your bids. Admission to the sale is $80 and the pieces will be on display through October 8.
