Rolo’s Indy Outlook in December
Hello, Indy friends! I’m Rolo, the four‑legged sidekick of Dottie Bailey, your regional manager at Window Depot of Indianapolis. From my favorite perch by our triple‑pane windows, I get the best view of what’s going on around town. Whether it’s music, skating, lights, or holiday magic — I’m sniffing out all the fun, ready to wag my tail and steer you to the good stuff. So curl up, get comfy, and let me show you what’s coming to Indy this December.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
December 4th | Gainbridge Fieldhouse
If you’re ready for rock‑powered holiday magic, TSO returns to Indy with their winter tour show, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve.” Expect pyrotechnics, lasers, and a performance that brings holiday classics to life with rock‑symphony energy.

A Seussified Christmas Carol
December 4th-7th | Hendricks Live
A festive twist on a classic! This creative and whimsical take on “A Christmas Carol,” inspired by Dr. Seuss, is perfect for families, friends, or anyone in the holiday spirit. A great pick if you want something theatrical and lighthearted.

Riding in a Winter Wanderland
December 14th | Cultural Trail Headquarters
Get cozy with friends and family while taking in a winter-themed bike ride through holiday lights and decorations. It’s a festive outing that’s easygoing and full of charm — just the kind of ride I’d enjoy sniffing along on. Anyone got a bike trailer? I’m ready for a ride too!

Ice Skating at Elevance Health Rink
December 1st–31st | Morris Bicentennial Plaza
Downtown’s winter classic is back! The Elevance Health Rink at Morris Bicentennial Plaza is the perfect place for gliding around on the ice. I’d join in, but sadly, there aren’t any dog-sized skates…so I’ll be cheering from the sidelines (and sniffing out the best hot cider spots).
More info here.
Christmas at the Zoo
December 1st–31st | Indianapolis Zoo
All month long, the zoo transforms into a holiday wonderland with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and that warm, cozy feeling that only Indy can deliver. I especially love stopping by the dolphin exhibit — their flips and spins remind me of my zoomies around the backyard! It’s the perfect outing for families, friends, or anyone looking to soak up some holiday cheer.
More info here.
Christmas Nights of Lights
December 1st–31st | Indiana State Fairgrounds
Need to see thousands of twinkling lights from the comfort of your car? This drive-thru light show is a local favorite — perfect for when you want holiday cheer without venturing far.
More info here.
If you ask me? It’s going to be a December full of sparkle, laughter, and maybe a little fresh air on the ice (though, full disclosure, I’ll be watching from inside, where the windows stay crystal-clear).
And hey, while you’re enjoying the season, remember that if your home’s windows are drafty or showing their age, at Window Depot of Indianapolis we make replacement window shopping easy! Our energy‑efficient, triple‑pane windows can help keep your home cozy through December chills — no gimmicks, no pressure, just honest, local‑trusted service and top‑quality installations.
Stay warm, stay festive, and I’ll catch you at the next adventure!
