INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The White River Arts and Music Festival (WARMfest) today announces that theatre events and games will join the extensive music lineup for the inaugural three-day festival taking place Labor Day Weekend (August 31-September 2) in Broad Ripple Park.

The Sapphire Theatre Co. (co-producers of ADULT SWIM at The Children’s Museum) will elevate the festival with a wild cast of larger-than-life roving entertainers including two turn-of-the-century stilted characters, and the man, myth and legend Carl G. Fisher on his magnificent velocipede. The Sapphire is also creating retro-boardwalk stage designs, interactive Side Show banners and carnival-style games to promote recycling.
Patrons will also have the chance to win a variety of prizes during an alternative game of Bingo as prt of the White Rabbit Cabaret’s Burlesque Bingo Bango Show, hosted by The Muncie Brothers, Dorgan “The Organ” and Milroy “The Killjoy” on Sunday, Sept. 1 and Monday, Sept. 2. Know No Stranger, an Indianapolis collective of artists who encourage creativity and fun in both conventional and unconventional ways, will present their Indy-famous musical Reconnecting Our Waterways, along with a preview of their 5th annual variety show Optical Popsicle!, playing October 18 at the Athenaeum.
The festival also merges with the 7th annual Broad Ripple Music Fest to present the event’s local and regional music component. Live music will be featured throughout the entire WARMfest run on five stages and will include a mix of national, regional and local talent. The initial lineup booked by MOKB Presents includes Big Head Todd and The Monsters, Michael Franti & Spearhead, JJ Grey & Mofro, G. Love & Special Sauce, Mayer Hawthorne, Delta Spirit, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Red Wanting Blue, Kopecky Family Band, DJ Logic and many more with additional acts to be announced.

WARMfest is presented by Howald Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing; Sam Ash Music; and Neat-o Art Shop. The three-day event will bring together several key Indianapolis cultural groups including Indy Parks & Recreation, Broad Ripple Music Fest and Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Carl G. Fisher Society, a non-profit whose goal is to restore the waterfront of Broad Ripple.
