INDIANAPOLIS — Come enjoy delicious food, beverages and live music with Indiana Futsal at Un Poquitico De Cuba this Friday from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. at 1417 Commerce Avenue — the building with the Indianapolis flag painted on it — on Indy’s near east side. The cover is $5 at the door and is an all-ages event.

Indiana Futsal has a historic venture to Havana planned later this month to help grow the game of futsal and connect with youths in Cuba. All proceeds from Friday’s party will benefit the organization’s trip.

“Join us for a night of dancing, live music, local beer, Venezuelan arepas and the best ice cream in the city,” said Indiana Futsal director Justin Becht. “More importantly, we are raising money to empower youth in Havana through the beautiful game.”

Event sponsor Centerpoint Brewing Company will be serving its offerings, as will Sun King Brewing, El Venezolano food truck and Gordon’s Ice Cream Parlor. Fellow local nonprofit RUCKUS Makerspace also linked up with Indiana Futsal to host the event.

“About two years ago, I had a chance to go down (to Cuba) to visit my family, and couldn’t help notice the fact that every street corner, every park, every landmark, was filled with kids playing the game of futsal,” said Indiana Futsal’s Guy-Jo Gordon in a promotional video for Friday’s party. “The game has grown organically at an exponential rate, and we have an opportunity to go down there and see how they’ve helped facilitate the growth of the game down there. Additionally, they’re also looking at us to provide them with the expertise that we’ve developed over the last couple years in building futsal courts.”

Un Poquitico De Cuba attendees are advised to use 16th Street to access parking across the street from the facility due to road construction. If you’d like to support the cause but are unable to attend Friday’s soiree, please visit the organization’s GoFundMe page set up specifically to fundraise for the Cuba trip.
