A show is only as good as it’s master of ceremonies…
Tony Styxx is an Indianapolis institution. As much a fixture of the culture as the Salesforce tower in the naptown skyline. He’s hosted a ton of events from open mics to club events, and even is the current voice of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but with the exception of the arts & activism event called “The Wake”, we’d never worked together in this SPECIFIC capacity…so we threw it out there. And the rest they say, will be history. Say hello to the host of the Melanin in May Festival and master of ceremonies on the performance stage, Ronald A Craig Jr BKA Tony Styxx!
Marquice is a Hoosier native and loves to raise awareness for everything Indianapolis. As the founder of G4 Unlimited, her mission is to empower, uplift, and encourage others to be their best selves by tapping into their unlimited potential. From hosting, to speaking, to teaching, she’s been all over the city spreading this message and the irresistible cheer that comes with it. Her biggest passion, though, is the experiences she gets to create through her business and the numerous events she gets to curate for others. She strives to leave every room better than when she first arrived, and hopes it inspires others to do the same. She strongly believes in the power of networking and collaboration, and believes that our city is a million times better because of it. In her free time she loves traveling, eating, and just enjoying the company of her friends and family at home. She lives by the words of Maya Angelou, “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

To the right, you’ll find the parking map. Please note there will be parking shuttles taking patrons to and from event parking, dropping off just outside the IU Health & Wellness Village and to the right of the Promo Tent and picking up in front of the abandoned Kroger across the street. If you elect to walk as opposed to using the shuttle service, please note the nearest crosswalk at the intersection of 38th & Post Road between Pizza Hut and Papa Johns.
