Baby Got Brunch, one of Indy’s most iconic food fests, is back for its sixth year on Saturday, Aug. 10. Here’s everything you need to know to get jiggy with it.

🍳 What’s the word

This isn’t your average food fest. Think of it as an old-school rap battle, with local chefs duking it out to win awards for the best bites, all set to nonstop 90s hip-hop jams.

In addition to brunch bites from some of the best local restaurants and chefs, tickets include bottomless mimosas + bloody marys, as well as access to an open bar — so you can get sippin’ on gin and juice.

Whether you love sweet or savory foods, there’s more than enough brunch for you to choose from.

🍳 Chowing down for a cause

Each year, Baby Got Brunch selects a local beneficiary, with a portion of every ticket donated to a local organization that has a real impact in Indy. Previous initiatives have focused on food insecurity for school-aged children + maternal health and wellness, and have benefited The Damien Center, The Milk Bank, and The Patachou Foundation.

This year’s event will benefit 91 Place, a home that provides transitional housing, workforce development, and mental health support to youth ages 18-24 facing homelessness in Indianapolis.
