Join us for SWING 2026 from 6 PM to 11 PM on Friday, Sept. 25th, 2026. The Indianapolis Indians invite you to help us celebrate our third annual SWING event benefiting Indianapolis Indians Charities. Indianapolis Indians Charities is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youth and families grow stronger together, learn more and live healthier lives. The nonprofit is focused on supporting organizations in four areas: youth development, family success, education and neighborhood development. 

SWING is a Victory Field experience unlike any other – a premier event with access to the dugouts, secret speakeasy and clubs, elevated food and live entertainment. Restaurants are crucial to the success of SWING in donating time and talent, and we are incredibly grateful for their generosity. We encourage you to apply early to take advantage of this incredible marketing opportunity to help support a great cause. There is NO FEE to participate, and all proceeds benefit Indianapolis Indians Charities. In turn, those proceeds will help support the Indianapolis community. 

Restaurants are asked to provide up to 3,000 BITE-SIZE samples of their specialties tailored toward upscale ballpark food. They are also asked to supply their labor (eight workers max for evening crew), branded table linens (blank will be provided) and serving supplies. Victory Field will take care of the rest of your needs including signage, paper products (cups, bowls, napkins, utensils, etc.), banquet tables, ice, water access, electricity, hand-washing stations and refrigeration. 

Restaurants also receive event tickets, Indianapolis Indians tickets, coupon offer opportunities, advertisements and more. Restaurants are not permitted to serve beer, wine or liquor at their booth. All vendors must obtain a serving permit via the MCHD once approved. Below is a list of benefits for participating restaurants.
