Indianapolis Cultural Trail Official Opening Celebration

Speaking of Indianapolis infrastructure – here is some news on a public works project that actually creates a positive impact on a large chunk of the city – The Indianapolis Cultural Trail “officially” opens on Saturday, May 11, with a round of celebrations called “Get Down On It.” (cute!) The celebration includes a pretty massive list of events at various locations around the trail, so click through to see your options for various live music events, outdoor theater, food venues and public arts projects, or download a handy map. Should be a fun celebration.

It needs to be emphasized how awesome that is.
