Our homegrown king of comedy is coming back to give Indianapolis its ultimate summer block party. The 3rd Annual Mike Epps Community Festival Weekend will take over the city from August 28 to August 30, 2026. Sponsored fully by the Mike Epps Foundation, this highly anticipated weekend brings an unmatched blend of star-studded comedy, family vibes, and pure automotive excellence.

Undeniably, this celebration matters deeply to our community. In an era where festival ticket prices are skyrocketing out of reach, Epps is intentionally keeping the massive Saturday community concert completely free for the public. To make that possible, the weekend utilizes strategic fundraisers. Specifically, your support at the comedy shows and the car exhibition directly funds the free festival day, creating a beautiful cycle of community economic support.

The Star-Studded Lineup

The epic schedule features high-profile elements all weekend long:

• Friday, August 28: The laughter kicks off with the Mike Epps and Friends Comedy Show at the Murat Theatre. Tickets start at an accessible $50 on Ticketmaster, promising a stellar lineup of heavy-hitters.
• Saturday, August 29: The free Community Concert and Festival Day hits Washington Park, featuring live music, local vendors, and family entertainment.
• Sunday, August 30: The grand finale features the Mike Epps Car & Bike Show. The venue upgraded to Lawrence Community Park to handle the massive turnout. Spectators get in free, while vehicle registrations act as vital fundraisers.

Ultimately, the Mike Epps Community Festival Weekend proves that nobody looks out for Naptown quite like Mike. Grab your tickets early and show out for the city!
