Things to Do in Carmel, Indiana — Happy Hours, Events, Music & More
Friday night was a busy night. Once a month we like to do something fancy. Started at Divvy for what has become my favorite Espresso Martini, then walked around the corner to Lone Pine for some oysters, French Fries and some cocktails. Then to SunKing for a quick stop before hitting the bar at Anthony's for what was supposed to be the burger, but we split the Spinalis, Mac & Cheese, some cocktails and then an uber home.
Saturday was Carmel's International Arts festival. We spent a couple of hours wandering the streets, looking at some amazing art by some very talented people. Stopped in Matador who has Happy Hour Every Day of the week. Took a break at home with the dog and went back out for dinner at Fork & Ale.
Sunday started with The Colts at The Goat then drifted over to the Main Stage at Arts Fest for Phone Club which is my favorite local band. Ended with a quick dinner at 101 Craft Kitchen
Whew, that was a lot of typing. Living in Carmel is rough sometimes. Speaking of, Blog drops this week on all the events in Carmel throughout the year. I thought a look at all the events and festivals was in order so we can all appreciate what this city has to offer.
