Summer is a great time to go out and explore central Indiana, and the sunny, hot weather means that outdoor activities abound. From food fests to live music, there are plenty of events across Hancock and Marion counties to keep you and your whole family entertained.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>

And if you find yourself getting excited about going on outings to the events you missed last summer, you\u2019re not alone. Many people are thrilled to reengage in normal activities after taking a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
