Indianapolis will see the Indiana Black Expo’s Summer Celebration a bit early this year.

With its concerts; health fair; and business and educational conferences, the Summer Celebration is usually a mid-July occurrence.

The events this year though are slated for June 20-30.

Why did Indiana Black Expo change its dates?

The date move is to accommodate  the National Eucharistic Congress taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium July 17-21,  Indiana Black Expo organizers said.

The date change is temporary, and Indiana Black Expo will go back to its traditional July dates starting in 2025.
