The Weekend 5

Each week Visit Indy publishes five can't-miss events for the upcoming weekend.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Live music just sounds better outdoors. Celebrate the opening of the Annex's final season with two stellar shows. The all-ages venue hosts Southern Accents - The Ultimate Tom Petty Experience Friday and Matt Hansen Saturday. Southern Accents recreates the music, style, and sound of Tom Petty with immaculate precision and wildly contagious enthusiasm. Matt Hansen's blend of Americana, folk, and indie showcases his soulful reinterpretations of popular songs and original music. The Annex features premium sound, a sidestage lounge, a snack bar, and a full bar for those 21 and older. Tickets are $15 and up.

The Yes 'Cers have turned it up and are closing in on the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They could secure it with one more win (or a loss by the Bucks), so the final two home games of the regular season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse could clinch this. Thursday, the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town for Pedal to the Pacers night. Take a guided bike ride along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail then park your bike while you enjoy the game. The Blue & Gold host the Orlando Magic Friday. Tickets are $13 and up.

This new exhibit tells the evolving story of the art of Native/Indigenous beadwork. Including an extraordinary range of works, from traditional designs to cutting-edge creations, guests can explore the beauty, creativity, and cultural significance of these works. To coincide with Saturday's opening, the museum is featuring special activities like artist talks and DIY bead making. Radical Stitch is included with museum admission of $12 and up and runs through August 3.

Cheers to three years! That's worthy of a big celebration, so stop in Saturday to toast the brewery making some of the most inventive and delicious beers in Indy. There will be pop-ups with vintage clothing, glitter hair extensions, and face paint including a glitter bar. Enjoy food from That Vegan Joint and Chicago Beef and Dog, and be sure to shop the artists open house at 201 Studios. To alleviate crowding inside, bring blankets and chairs to hang out in the parking lot with a beer tent. Admission is free and this is a good opportunity to check in on the Indy Craft Pass and start earning prizes.

Easter is on the way and that means Bunnysaurus Rex is hiding eggs in Dinosphere® and throughout The Children's Museum. Hop in Saturday to explore the galleries, have egg-citing fun with dino-bunny activities, and hunt the T. rex Toddler Trail or faster moving Raptor Route for prizes of prehistoric proportions. Admission is $10-$30.
