INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Here are this weekend’s top 8 things to do in and around Indianapolis this weekend.1. Heartland Film Festival Final Weekend

Over 60 high school marching bands from nine states will converge on Lucas Oil Stadium this Friday and Saturday for the Bands of America Super Regional competition, a qualifier for the Nationals competition (also in Indianapolis) next month. Out of the initial field, which features many local bands, the top 14 will compete in the finals Saturday night before one is crowned champion. A full schedule is available here.4.Broad Ripple Zombie Walk and Prom

We’re more than halfway through the month of October, so hopefully you have your costumes planned out and/or purchased  as fall and Halloween costume parties take center stage. This weekend you’ll want to watch out for zombies in the crosswalks in Broad Ripple with the Zombie Walk and Prom both taking place this Saturday. This event is family friendly and for all ages. More information is available here. 5. Pacers, Fuel and Colts

It’s going to be a big sports weekend in Indianapolis as the Pacers, Fuel and Colts all have home games this weekend. Bankers Life will play host to the Pacers v. Portland matchup this Friday at 7 p.m. with tickets as low as $9 on resale sites. The Indy Fuel will take on the Tulsa Oilers this Saturday at 7:35 p.m. at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum, with a pre-game fan fest outside and rally towel giveaway. Finally, your Indianapolis Colts will host Jacksonville Sunday with kick-off at 1 p.m. The weather looks to stay nice through the first half of the day with better rain chances later.6.
