Grand Park welcomes Suburban Indy Shows and Whale of a Sale to its Events Center, expanding beyond the sports culture.
Cook
“Grand Park will always be in the business of sports, but the Grand Park Events Center is large enough to attract conventions,” explains Mayor Andy Cook. “The 370,000 square-foot facility is three full-size multipurpose fields under one roof and with the addition of hard surface flooring the space is versatile. Residents, families and businesses who might not have a connection to youth sports and therefore Grand Park, now have a reason to visit our one of kind sports campus.”
The ongoing Suburban Indy Shows will be debuting their Home and Outdoor Living Fall Show at the Grand Park Events Center through Sunday, Sept. 24. Attendees should expect to connect with local suburban businesses to discuss landscape and home improvement ideas while also being able to sample and purchase local food, artists and decor.
The hours will be from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. General admission at the door will be $10, online tickets are $8 and kids 12 and under are free.
