Six Key Reasons 2024 is a Blockbuster Year for Indy 

With over $2 billion in tourism-related developments underway, paired with Indy's #1 spot on Airbnb's list of trending cities in 2024, Indy is positioned to be America's best mid-sized city.

  • Key Calendar Events: From NBA All-Star Weekend in February and the Total Solar Eclipse in April, to nine days of U.S. Olympic Swimming Trails in June, and three nights of Taylor Swift in November, Indy has something for all.
  • Trail Investments: The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is expanding to 10 miles to increase access in Indy's historically Black cultural district by Madam Walker Legacy Center and the south street corridor connecting the trail to Lucas Oil Stadium. New this year the bikeshare system also will gain 250 e-bikes, all while Indy is investing $100 million into trail infrastructure. 
  • Bicentennial Unity Plaza: The heart of downtown Indy can enjoy a new $30 million public gathering space with an outdoor seasonal skating rink, arts park area, Indy's newest steakhouse, community basketball court, retail, and more.
  • Luxury Shopping and Dining: Indy welcomes RH Indianapolis on the 151-acre campus of the former DeHaan Estate. Guests can dine indoors in the main dining room or enjoy the outdoor terrace that elegantly overlooks a 35-acre private lake.
  • A Changing Skyline: New development announcements keep coming and these key projects will help keep Indy's pole position as USA Today's "#1 Convention City in the U.S."  
  • River Activation Implementation: Indy is amidst one of the country's largest river redevelopment projects for 58 miles of the White River, which runs through the heart of the city. This is the first full year that residents and visitors can enjoy water recreational activities through Frank's Paddlesports Livery.
