Here are some A&E options for June 8-14.

Circle City IN Pride

Given the events in Indiana over the last few months, we can expect a particularly enthusiastic Indy Pride festival this year. Events for the state’s largest LGBT celebration include an all-ages Disney movie night June 9 on Mass Ave, a downtown parade and festival June 13 on American Legion Mall, and performances by country singer Chely Wright, and singer/songwriters Neon Hitch and Jeffery Straker, impersonator Jimmy James. Through June 13 Various locations Details

Zoobilation

There are few fundraising events that are approached by their patrons with the zeal that Zoobilation generates. This year themed as Boomerang Bash (in celebration of the return of the koalas), the event includes samples from 70 eateries, entertainment on four stages, and, yes, the Skyline ride over the orangutan center will be up and running. New eateries this year include Louie’s Wine Dive, Plow & Anchor, Spoke & Steele, and Georgia Reese’s Southern Table and Bar. June 12 Indianapolis Zoo. Details
