Fireworks are returning to downtown Indianapolis on July 4. The display, which was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, will launch from the top of the 500 North Meridian office building at 10 p.m.

Both Visit Indy and Downtown Indy Inc. worked with other civic organizations and the city to bring the show back to downtown Indianapolis.

“We are excited to bring back one of our treasured July 4 traditions,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett. “This year, we can celebrate our country’s independence, our city’s bicentennial, and our continued comeback from the COVID-19 pandemic, powered by more and more residents choosing to get vaccinated.”

Downtown Indy Inc. had to find a new launch site for 2021 and beyond due to new residential development adjacent to Regions Tower.

“As more people become vaccinated, we know there’s growing demand for visitors to travel with friends and family,” Leonard Hoops, president of Visit Indy said. “Having a long, holiday weekend that includes Indiana’s biggest and best fireworks will give visitors another reason to visit Indy.”
