Fashion, gourmet food coming to IMS for Opulence at the Speedway on qualifying weekend

Fine wines, prime cuts and lots of pink are coming to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for qualifying weekend.

The inaugural Opulence at the Speedway, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 18, will feature gourmet food and drinks, live music and high fashion throughout the Pagoda Plaza.

During the celebration, guests can sit in grandstand seats to watch 33 of the world’s best IndyCar drivers vie for starting positions at the 108th Indianapolis 500 on May 26.

General admission ticket holders ($175 for one guest, $300 for two) can enjoy a catered brunch and hors d’oeuvres, an open bar and live music from Indianapolis-based DJs MetroGnome and Topspeed throughout the East Chalet and Pagoda Plaza. VIP guests ($225 for one ticket, $400 for two) will also receive complimentary champagne and themed merchandise, plus early access to the Chalet, Plaza and Gasoline Alley. All guests are encouraged to dress formally in shades of pink — promotional materials prominently feature dresses and men’s and women’s suits — as part of a “spring time chic” theme.

The five-hour foray into luxury will be hosted by Opulent Crowns of the Heartland, an Indianapolis social club of “progressive, professional women” formed in 2018, and Emerald Street Creative, an events organizer best known for bringing globally renowned dinner party series Le Dîner en Blanc to Indianapolis.

Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite through April 20.

Man fatally shot near 10th Street, Shadeland Avenue on Mother’s Day

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man is dead, and a suspect has been detained following a shooting on Indy’s far east side.

The shooting took place around midnight Sunday near the intersection of East 10th Street and Shadeland Avenue.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers arrived at the scene and found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. Medics rushed him to a hospital, where he later died.

Investigators say they believe it started as an altercation in the parking lot of a business before the shooting happened.

The suspect stayed on the scene and was later detained. IMPD says they located a gun in the suspect’s car.

IMPD Capt. John Arvin told media at the scene, “It’s Mother’s Day. Here’s the tragedy. A mother is going to get a knock on the door this morning that her son is dead. For the rest of her life, every Mother’s Day, she’s going to remember that’s the day my son died.

“That just makes this a senseless tragedy. We have no idea what the fight was over, what led to the shooting, but whatever it was, does it lead to someone’s mother knowing for the rest of her life my son died on mothers day. That’s just tragedy.”

Police say many of the surrounding businesses have security cameras, and they will contact them today to review the footage as part of the investigation.
