PARDI VI: The Finale!

​PARDI is an upscale legacy annual fundraising event held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event was curated and hosted by Be Nimble with the intention of showcasing Black and LatinX businesses, while offering them an opportunity to earn a business grant. 

This event also provides its attendees an opportunity to dress in semi-formal and / or themed attire and party for a cause. 

The year 2023 marked the 6th Pardi Gras event, and PARDI VI unfortunately, was the finale. In perfect, Be Nimble fashion the final event was nothing short of amazing held on February 18 at the Crane Bay Center. A 1920’s renaissance theme could be observed throughout. A total of $25,000 was awarded to five up and coming black women owned beauty businesses to assist with their business development. Madam CJ Walker and Mielle Organics were two references made as inspiration to the awardees and guests.
