Sure, itâs only Monday, but weâre already planning for a saucy weekend.
Indianapolis Pizza Fest will take over Monument Circle from 12 to 6 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 9, serving up sample slices, live music, games, and more.
Expect more than a citywide pizza party â this fest is a full-on flavor showdown. Local pizzerias will go head-to-head for the title of best pie in Indiana, judged by celebrity guests and hungry festivalgoers like you.
Bonus: Itâs pizza with a purpose â a portion of the proceeds supports United Way of Central Indiana. Buy tickets.
