Indianapolis’ Downtown Canal is a prime time spot to unwind on a beautiful day in the city, whether you’re out for a picnic or simply strolling along the water. But what if these canal-side activities were set to a soundtrack of your choosing?
Once again this summer, the Indiana Historical Society presents their Concerts on the Canal series, giving music lovers a slew of opportunities to enjoy concerts while hanging out on the Canal. From smooth jazz to grooving ‘80s hits, the series will feature artists playing on Thursdays from 6 to 8 pm on the Historical Society’s Kruse Family Stardust Terrace. Food and beverage options will be available for purchase throughout the two-month concert series, which runs from May 25 to July 27.
