The Broad Ripple Report: Father's Day Guide

It's Father's Day Weekend in Broad Ripple and the neighborhood has something for every type of dad. Here’s how to treat your dad right this weekend... and maybe lock in that “favorite kid” title while you’re at it.

1. 🏕️ The Outdoor Dad

Has a sleeping bag, tent, hiking boots ready to go at all times.

2. 🏃‍♂️ The Athletic Dad

Has finished a workout and 5K before you’ve rolled out bed.

3. 🎵 The Music loving Dad

Probably has large collection of vinyl and reminds you “they don’t make music like this anymore”.

  • Indy CD & Vinyl - show him something new or grab a classic for his collection.

  • Rock the Ruins - head out to Holliday Park and enjoy The Wallflowers on Saturday evening.

4. 🧥 The Fashion Dad

Has quoted the Ron Burgundy multiple times - “Hey everyone, come see how good I look!”

5. 🍗🍺 The Beer/BBQ Dad

Let’s be honest - this dad does this every weekend. This time he just gets a card with it.

  • Sullivan’s Hardware - new grill and accessories - he will spend hours here.

  • Kincaid’s Meat Market - head over to the Illinois St. location and pick through some top tier meat options to break in that new grill.

  • 317 BBQ - Let someone else do the work. BBQ, local brews and live music - done.

Enjoy some time with dad this weekend - and laugh at his jokes like they are actually funny. Happy Father’s Day!
