Shining A Light is presented 365 days a year and is synchronized with an Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra original score, paying tribute to the iconic monument. This five-minute light presentation tells many stories. From our servicemen and women, to our veterans, to Indy's past and future, Monument Circle will be the canvas for Indy's legacy every evening.
