This is the second year for WARMfest, I had a blast last year and this year promises to be even better. There is great mix of local and national performers. I'm especially looking forward to hearing the Last IV and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.
The goal of the folks behind WARMfest and the Carl G. Fisher Society is to restore the White River to its former glory and there are several concerts that take place on the river to help that cause.
Check out the WARMfest website for their generous policies - children under 10 years old get in free (with an adult of course) and other family friendly things.
There will be beer and food truck onsite, bike parking, and a free shuttle from Glendale Mall.

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
