TOGETHER WITH

Happy Monday and happy February! We’ve officially made it out of the endless tundra known as January (barely), and today’s high of 32° actually feels... kind of warm? Here’s to longer days, fewer eLearning alerts, and maybe even seeing pavement again soon. Let’s ease into the new month together with local news, events, and updates to help defrost your week.

In today’s South Side Scoop:

Let’s get to it!

From stick vacs to smart robots, eufy brings award-winning innovation to your floors—so you can kick back and actually enjoy your clean home.

Our current obsession? The eufy 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum E20—a CES Innovation Award winner that vacuums, sweeps, and self-empties without clogging or tangling. With up to 30,000 Pa of suction, auto-empty tech, pet-friendly obstacle avoidance, and flash charging, it’s like hiring a robot butler (minus the small talk).

It might still be winter, but Bargersville is already thinking summer! The 2026 Summer Concert Series returns with free live music at the park starting May 21st. The lineup includes everything from country and classic rock to jazz and high-energy dance bands. Each show will feature a food truck and a treat truck so mark your calendars now and start planning those summer nights under the stars! Find the full schedule on their Facebook page.

Devour Indy’s Winterfest is sticking around a little longer. OIrganizers have extended the event through Monday, February 5th due to last week’s snowstorm. That means you have a few extra days to score multi-course meals at special prices at top restaurants across the city. Ten Southside spots are participating, including favorites like Stone Creek, Brozinni, and Ten Cuts. Menus and details can be found at devourindy.com

A new dining spot is coming to Greenwood Park Mall! More Than Burgers opens its doors on February 7th, serving up comfort food in a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. Located at 1251 US Highway 31 N (formerly TGI Fridays), they’ll be open daily from 11am to midnight. Visit morethanburgerss.com to check out their delicious offerings and subscribe to get 10% off your first order!
