About this Event

Join Us at the BACK TO THE AVENUE Indianapolis Recorder Community Picnic!

For generations, the Recorder Community Picnic was one of the most anticipated gatherings in Indianapolis’ Black community. What started decades ago as a way to bring families, neighbors, businesses, churches, and community leaders together became a powerful tradition rooted in joy, connection, culture, and pride along historic Indiana Avenue.

This wasn’t just a picnic.
It was a reunion. A celebration. A reminder of the strength and spirit of our community.

Now, the Indianapolis Recorder is proud to bring that tradition back home.

Join us for BACK TO THE AVENUE as we honor the legacy of the Recorder Community Picnic and create new memories for the next generation.
