What is Shining a Light?

Downtown residents, employees and visitors will see Indy’s Signature Salute nightly at dusk, 365 days a year. (Timing will be adjusted when seasons change.) The five-minute program will bask the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument in red, white and blue with a synchronized original score from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra written by Emmy-Award winner John Colby. Video and light projections featuring images of historic significance will unfold across the surrounding building facades, and statues on the Monument will be illuminated. As the music crescendos, four beams of light will soar skyward from each quadrant illuminating Lady Victory, signaling Indianapolis as the Crossroads of America.
