Fireworks are a go for Independence Day in downtown Indianapolis.
The city’s July 4 festivities will once again conclude with a fireworks display, Downtown Indy Alliance announced in a news release. The colorful show will help Indy will ring in America’s 250th anniversary, along with an evening festival at American Legion Mall.
The fireworks will be launched from the 500 North Meridian office building at 500 N. Meridian St., just south of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, at 10:15 p.m. American Legion Mall at 700 N. Pennsylvania St. and the grounds of the Indiana War Memorial at 55 E. Michigan St. will serve as the prime viewing spots, and patrons are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets.
The 20-minute fireworks display will cap off Downtown Indy Alliance’s fourth annual Fourth Fest event, which starts at 6 p.m. July 4 and will feature live music, food trucks and more. The downtown celebration is in partnership with Indiana 250: the state’s official effort to recognize the country’s semiquincentennial.
