The Micro Wrestling Federation is a high- flying, professional wrestling promotion supported by an entire cast under five feet tall. Founded in 2000, the MWF is the longest running organization within the Little Person wrestling industry; no other company has performed in more events since our inception. The Micro Wrestling Federation has been imitated without success as we are the original “MICRO” professional wrestling organization. Our reality show "Big Little Brawlers" aired on the Discovery Channel; you can watch episodes on Discovery, Discovery Plus, and Max. The Micro Wrestlers have been featured in Sports Illustrated Magazine, Country Music Television, and the WWE. There is no denying that the Micro Wrestling Federation is the number one Little Person wrestling organization on the planet - high-flying, body slamming, and off the top rope!

Floor Show Drop Outs present
Rocky Horror Picture Show

  Midnight / doors 11:00p
  $12 (advance) / $15 (at the door)
 17+ unless accompanying parent or adult guardian

This campy cult classic is the most popular midnight movie of all time.  A corn-fed all-American couple stumbles onto a creepy castle one night when their car breaks down, entering a world they never dreamed existed. The castle turns out to be inhabited by a collection of kinky Transylvanian freaks led by a mad bisexual transvestite.  The film gained notoriety as the most successful midnight movie ever, in which hundreds of cult fans show up in costume and act out scenes from the movie.

You are not allowed to bring your own props.  Prop kits are available at the show.  Prop kits include rice (during the wedding scene at the very beginning, throw yours in celebration), a newspaper (during the rain scene, keep dry), noise maker (during the creation speech, celebrate and MAKE SOME NOISE), toilet paper (when the doctor breaks through the lab wall, hurl your "scotts" tissue), and toast (make your toast during the birthday dinner...toss it), will be available at the show for $4.  YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME IN COSTUME.

Doors open at 11:00pm.  Virgin sacrifice before the show.  The movie begins at Midnight.

Indiana State 2026 Yo-Yo Contest

  $5 general admission (at the door) (children 8 or under free)
  all ages


The yo-yo isn't just a toy - it's a sport, an art form, and now, the centerpiece of one of the most unique live events in Indiana this year.

On September 19th, the Indiana State Yo-Yo Contest 2026 will bring national champions, local talent, and a live science show under one roof in Indianapolis.

This isn't the yo-yo you remember from grade school. Expect jaw-dropping speed, mind-bending tricks, and routines choreographed with the precision of a dance performance. Some of the best players in the world - including national champions and rising stars - will be battling it out on stage, right here in Indiana.

The contest is also powered by a grassroots community, The NapTown Crew, that has rebuilt the Indiana yoyo scene from the ground up. Dozens of sponsors are making sure Indy States is not just an event - it's a celebration of creativity, education, and fun.
