The third annual BRMF will invade Indy's favorite cultural community mecca on Saturday, October 17th. The historic Broad Ripple Village will be the canvas for over 250 local, regional and national artists performing on 25 stages including historic live music staples such as the Vogue Theatre, as well as dance clubs, neighborhood watering holes and even family and children's venues. Attendance is expected to exceed 3500 this year, as the overall profile of the festival has increased dramatically from years past.

The mission of the BRMF is to unite the community in which we live, work and escape to. What better way to bring everyone together than with an epic celebration?

Proceeds from this year’s BRMF will benefit local non-profit partner, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and will be funneled directly back into the neighborhood to help keep it clean, green and sustainable.
