This Saturday, October 13, the Broad Ripple Fall Music Festival will take place on 21 stages in 19 venues and will benefit 20 charities across Indianapolis. The venues are all located between 38th Street and 71st.
The festival is uniquely organized in a decentralized way (individual promoters), yet with a common foundation: each venue will collect money for a charity of their choice. The fest will feature hundreds of Indiana musicians and will offer a good time for locals of all ages, not just the 21 and over crowd. It will appeal as well to all musical tastes, from rock to hip-hop, electronic to acoustic.
Sponsors include NUVO Newsweekly, The Broad Ripple Village Association, Musical Family Tree, Rock Music Review, My Old Kentucky Blog, IndianapolisMusic.net and Hot Box Pizza.
The cover will be $6 at most venues and many will have none. After entering a venue at full price, attendees will receive a stamp that allows them to get into other venues for $3 off. Charities will receive 25% of money taken at the door for venues charging a cover, while venues with no cover will collect donations for the charity.
I am thrilled to be part of this event and will be performing at Boulevard Place Cafe, located at Boulevard Place and 42nd. The charity that will benefit from Boulevard Place is Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. Here’s the line up for BPC.
