Hoosier Hoop Dreams Take Center Stage at Fever’s All-Star Weekend

Downtown Indianapolis is about to be painted in Fever red and WNBA orange as the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend tips off at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and across the city. The hometown Indiana Fever will be in the spotlight — with Caitlin Clark captaining her squad, Kelsey Mitchell lighting up the nets, and Aliyah Boston serving her usual post presence — as the basketball world descends on the Circle City for a celebration of women’s hoops.

The action begins Friday with WNBA Live presented by Panini, an interactive fan fest at the Indiana Convention Center running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fans can score autographs from current and former WNBA stars, participate in basketball clinics and games, and shop exclusive merchandise. Like a Fever fast break, the event promises energy and fun from start to finish — with tickets just $28.40 and free for kids 12 and under.

Friday night brings the STARRY 3-Point Contest and Kia Skills Challenge to Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 8 p.m., broadcast nationally on ESPN. Caitlin Clark, already the toast of Indy, will go toe-to-toe with WNBA sharpshooters — including Sabrina Ionescu, who set a record in the contest two years ago. Add in defending skills champ Allisha Gray and a lineup of players itching to make a splash, and fans are in for a full-court show of talent and flair.

Saturday’s FeverFest at Everwise Amphitheater combines hoops with harmony — a music and comedy extravaganza featuring The Kid LAROI, Cedric the Entertainer, Leslie Jones, and more. Doors open at 6 p.m., setting the stage for a night of laughs, beats, and buckets.

The grand finale comes Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. on ABC: the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, where the league’s elite clash in an exhibition dripping with star power. The Fever’s own Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are expected to let it fly in front of their home fans, with Gainbridge Fieldhouse rocking like it’s playoff time.

For Indiana Fever fans, this weekend is more than an event — it’s a showcase of the franchise’s growing influence on the league, and proof that the Fever are heating up at just the right time.
