The city of Southport is saying “goodbye to winter, and hello to spring,” with an exciting array of events coming up this spring and culminating in the month of December. The old town charm is infectious; you’ll certainly want to be a part of it.

On April 30, bring your friends and family to City Barbecue for “Rib Bone Tuesday”, a fundraiser for Perry Senior Services. From 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m., take a coupon (available on the city of Southport website) into City Barbeque at 7863 U.S. 31 S., Indianapolis, and Perry Senior Services will receive 25 percent back from your purchase.

The city of Southport will be hosting an annual tradition on Saturday, May 11 – Southport’s Spring Festival, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., 6901 Derbyshire Road. Join your neighbors for a day of kids’ games, arts and crafts (including an art contest), food and music. Go to downtownsouthport.com/springfestival for more information.
