In recent years, First Friday events have been growing in Indianapolis, along with events in and around Irvington, Fountain Square and now Beech Grove.
Fast forward to August, D's Taps is closed and Scarlet Grove Public House moved in its place. On August 2nd, many local shops that support the arts will have extended hours all along Main Street. What started as a simple conversation on social media between Sam and Claire, has led to where we they are now.
Organized by the Beech Grove Artist Collective, Main Street in Beech Grove will once again come alive with artists showing and selling their artwork throughout the evening. Musicians will be playing in a few shops and some may even spill out on the sidewalks. The First Friday In Beech Grove event will have more than 20 artist showing in over 10 locations
A few retailers along Main Street will offer craft classes while some will have some sort of First Friday discount deal.
Food choices will be plentiful as a few restaurants will be open later than usual and food carts and food trucks will park along Main Street.
