It’s almost time to check out the menus for Devour Indy Summerfest 2024.
The two-week restaurant promotion begins on August 19th.
For guests, the event, organized by the Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association, offers the opportunity to try new restaurants and visit some of the state’s best, like Vida or Oakleys Bistro, that might otherwise be out of their budget.
In addition, the club runs a winter campaign every year.
Be careful, however, when making plans based on the menus on the website, as some are marked to indicate that they may be leftovers from summer 2023 or winter 2024.
Visitors can discover some restaurants that are newly participating in the campaign – or are back after a break.
