Good morning, Insiders!

Fall’s starting to roll in around Indy—football’s on, the Pacers are warming up for preseason, and the calendar’s packed again. This week we’ve got plenty of big events - GermanFest is here with beer and dachshunds, Epicurean Indy is back on, and there’s plenty of music and events to hold up the calendar.

Let’s check out what’s going on —>

Epicurean Indy is rolling into Fletcher Place with a lineup of local chefs, cocktails, and plenty of small bites to keep you busy. It’s basically a “walk-and-snack” tour where your only job is to try everything. Perfect excuse to ditch dinner plans and graze your way through Indy’s food scene. Check it out on October 5th and find tickets here.

GermanFest is back at the Athenaeum, which means beer steins, bratwurst, polka bands, and the crowd favorite—dachshund races. It’s one of those festivals where strangers instantly become your new drinking buddies, and the Chicken Dance feels mandatory. Details here for the event on October 4th at the Athenaeum.

Meet Abby, a one-year-old rhodesian ridgeback who’s ears are as big as her smile, Akiko, a 2-year-old mixed breed who gets along well with dogs and cats, and Aven, a 2-month-old domestic cat who’s looking for her best friend.

Check out this modern 4 bed 3 bath home right outside of Castleton off 465. We’re looking at a modern white kitchen that leads down the stairs to a spacious living room that connects to a back patio. The bathrooms are guarded by wooden sliding doors and the backyard holds a pool large enough to host your next 4th of July party.. Check it out here.

Whether it’s dachshund races and food fests or late-night comedy and live tunes, Indy’s week ahead is stacked.
