Jimmy Buffett

May 15
Verizon Wireless Music Center

You don’t need me to tell you that Jimmy Buffett concerts are a cultural phenomenon. You don’t need me to remind
you of the lyrics of “Margaritaville” or the condition you are expected to be in for his annual visit to central
Indiana. And you can’t expect me to help with the weather which, ideally, should involve sunshine and a cool breeze
coming off the non-existent shore.

Instead, I can just point you toward concert information and, if you don’t already have tickets, wish you good luck
and smooth sailing. Details here.

 

The Wildebeest

May 14-Sept. 26
Santa Claus

This season, the big news from Holiday World, our state’s biggest amusement park, is the launch of the Wildebeest, billed as the world’s longest water coaster. Unlike the quick-drop of last season’s debut, Pilgrim’s Plunge, this four-to-a-raft ride takes you on a 2-1/2 minute journey covering a third of a mile of drops, twists and underground tunnels. Perhaps the best part: A conveyor lift replaces the usual water slide stairs.

I look forward to riding and reporting back to you on this sure-to-get-national-attention ride. For details, click here.

Hold On” Money on the 22nd, and ZZ Top on the 28th. For a more complete schedule, click here.

Broad Ripple Art Fair

May 15-16
Indianapolis Art Center


If, in the past, you’ve commented that you couldn’t take in all of the Broad Ripple Art Fair in one day, the Indianapolis Art Center has a solution for you. This year, if you visit the IAC’s booth on Saturday, you can get a wristband that will get you in on Sunday as well.

That could give you more time to relax and hear some music (this year’s performers include Bobbie Lancaster, Craig Brenner Trio, and the All City Jazz Band). It could mean that you can narrow your art purchasing choices down on Saturday and actually do the buying on Sunday. It could mean that you let your kids wait in line for the bounce house or, more appropriate to the environs, take their time drawing their own variation on Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” in the Prizm Creativity Tent. It could mean that you take advantage of the Pedal & Park corral and bike to the fair one day via the Monon Trail. It could mean that you spend a little more time chatting with representatives of most of central Indiana’s arts groups, who will be boothing at the fair.

Whatever it means, enjoy one of Indy’s most pleasant days. Details here.
