Once again Indy Film Fest and Downtown Indy, Inc. have united to bring us a festive season of movies along the Canal. Mark your calendar for these Thursday night dates - May 16, June 20, July 18 & Aug. 22 and come out to watch the FREE outdoor movies. It’s a wonderful way to break up the work week, and enjoy a evening out with friends and family.
“After a great first year, we wanted to bring back another in-Canal experience,” said Bob Schultz, senior vice president of marketing, communication and events for Downtown Indy, Inc. “Thanks to our partners with the Indy Film Fest, we know this will be a unique event and fun for attendees of all ages.”
