After years of anticipation, it’s finally here. Indianapolis is hosting the NBA All-Star Game this weekend.
The league’s most skilled athletes have come to Indiana for the annual east-versus-west showdown and other events that showcase the sport. The city estimated it would see more than 125,000 visitors.
When Indy gets the chance to show off on the national stage, it pulls out all the stops – especially when there’s basketball involved.
Art projections and neon signage cast a dreamy glow over Monument Circle. Downtown, high-rises, sidewalks and bare walls have turned into outdoor art galleries to delight passersby. Our chefs will nourish the masses while our DJs and musicians provide the soundtrack.
If you look beyond the big production, you’ll see it’s the talent and authenticity of our creatives that make our city vibrant 365 days of the year.
