Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Aug. 07, 2015
It's the most wonderful time of the year - the 2015 Indianapolis State Fair is open! It is also time for the fifth annual Indy Folk Fest at Indy Hostel and mark your calendar for SausageFest on August 21st and 22nd (see p. 6). I'll see you at the Fair!
Indy Folk Fest
Saturday, August 8, 2015
Indy Hostel - 4903 Winthrop Ave
all-ages, 1 - 11 PM, $10 or 4 ticket Family Pack $35
I can't believe it is only the fifth Indy Folk Fest, it has quickly become a beloved part of the summer festival circuit. This year's festival is featuring all local bands and artists and several community organizations. This year the festival will benefit KidsPeace, a nonprofit agency that provides professional support to children and families in the foster care system.
The bands are: Bigfoot Yancey, The Midwest Rhythm Exchange, Sphie, Knollwood Boys, Noble Roots Music, Prowlers & The Prey, Kevin Krauter, and Lisa Walks.
There will be a vendor village with gobs of great art and other goodies. Karma Kitchen Food Truck will be on site and Upland Brewing Company beer will be offered.
Visit the Indy Hostel website for more details.

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.
