Hosted at the AMP Food Hall & Marketplace, 16 Tech has been a key in-kind supporter over the past three years – and is now proud to carry on its legacy as the market’s official operator.
Saturday markets will have many vendors, including local farmers, food producers, and artisans. Find items like fresh produce, smoothies, bakery goods, cookies, jewelry, material goods, skincare products and more!

Get ready for a singles party game night that’s way more exciting than another round of swiping left and right?
If you like Mario Party, you’ll love this game night. Just like Mario Party, this epic game is a combo of tabletop gaming and interactive minigames.
You’ll be divided up into groups based on hetero, queer, age and similar interests.
The main event is 1-part party game and 4-parts minigames.

Some are inspired by things we did when we were kids (i.e., nerf duel, egg drop experiment)
Some are inspired by things you’ve seen on social media (i.e., slappy hands, blindfolded marching)
Some are ‘something new’! (fishing for hot dogs, squirrel throwing, etc.)

You’ll team up, face off, and maybe even meet someone who keeps you on your toes—both in the game and in life. Over 90 minutes, we’re bringing you party games, unpredictable twists, and minigames that will test your strategy, humor, and maybe even your flirting skills.
And here’s the best part—only the top players will advance to the grand finale, where they’ll battle it out for the ultimate prize (and major bragging rights). Who knows? You might leave with more than just a win—you could leave with a first date.
Coming all the way from Los Angeles, Sean, who was born and raised in Indianapolis, will lead this event packed with wild moments and unpredictable twists—just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s another surprise waiting.
