Mom’s-night-out in Indianapolis under $50
Between having the kids home all summer and the back-to-school rush, we are way past due for some fun with friends. Dinner, cocktails, and juicy conversation are great, but sometimes you need to shake it up and try something new…without breaking the budget. Grab your girls and check out our favorite places for an unforgettable night out in Indy this month!
Indiana State Fair
The Indiana State Fair is in full swing and while going to the fair with the little ones is an Indiana family tradition, an adults-only night at the fair should not be skipped. Devour the ah-mazing fair food, catch a free concert, or take a ride on the Skyride or Super Wheel. You also won’t want to miss the new Photo Trail for Instagram-worthy spots around the Fairgrounds or the Brews & Spirits Trail to taste the best beer, wine, and spirits from across the state. (Psst, peek this link for the best ways to save at the fair!)
Take in a Drag Show
Indy is home to so many incredible drag shows from the classic burlesque style to brewery bingo. Depending on which event you choose, the ticket costs include a preset menu, drink coupon, and of course, the show. Don’t forget a few singles to tip your favorite queen!
Symphony on the Prairie
Squeeze out the last bit of summer at Symphony on the Prairie! Load up a picnic basket with snacks and drinks, a blanket or lawn chairs, and your girls for a warm summer night of live music at Conner Prairie. Tribute bands like The Springsteen Experience or One Night of Queen will have you dancing all night long.

Wild Blackberry Farms
Before heading to the apple orchards in September, don’t miss u-pick blackberries at Wild Blackberry Farms, a short drive from Indy, in Fortville. Wild Blackberry Farms will make your Pinterest dreams come true with its picturesque country setting. Plus, the kids will love the pail of blackberries you’ll bring home from an afternoon of picking.

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition
Bring arts and culture to your girl’s night with Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition at the Circle Centre Mall downtown. This immersive exhibit takes you up close to the iconic art through life-size installations and perspectives. The exhibit takes around 60-90 minutes to experience so make a night of it and plan for dinner at one of Indianapolis’ underrated eateries afterward.
