There's a cool new Indianapolis event this weekend. The first-ever Knollfest will take place from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 4 on the grassy knoll behind Berkley Place, between Sunset Avenue and Haughey Road, slightly off of Butler University's campus (Check here for a map).

Knollfest will bring in more than a dozen bands with live music of all different genres, as well as art galleries, face painting, beer gardens, food and a variety of activities and competitions--Rock Band, beer pong tournaments,a breakdancing competition, Cornhole and ballroom dance instruction, to name a few.

The neat part about this celebration (maybe I'm biased) is that it was created and organized by two Butler University business students with the objective of fostering arts appreciation in the community through culture, music and education. All event proceeds will go to music and art departments at area schools.

Tickets are $15 for students of any level and teachers, and $20 for everyone else. They can also be purchased online ahead of time for just $10.

Don't let the fact that this event is (sort of) on a college campus scare you away. There should be no keg stands or chugging contests- just a really great effort to bring together the Indianapolis community for a good cause, and have some fun.
