Light and Sound Show – AAPI Month and Asian Fest Kick Off

May 3 @ 7:45 pm - 8:45 pm

- Free
May is celebrated as Asian American Pacific Islander Month across the nation, and Asian American Alliance Inc. is celebrating the occasion with these two signature events. The Asian American Alliance Inc. is thrilled to announce the commencement of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a special event on Friday, May 3, 2024, on the Monument Circle at 9 p.m. and a nightly show throughout May on Friday, Saturday and Sunday after dusk. This is the first-ever Asian American legacy show in Indiana, developed in partnership with Downtown Indy. The projection is a 4-minute show beamed on the AES building and best viewed from Monument Circle’s south side.

Join us for an evening of celebration starting with a reception from 7:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. at Barnes & Thornburg, located at 11 South Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN. This will be an opportunity for community members to connect, share stories, and honor the cultural richness of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Register on www.aaalliance.org for reception.

At 8:45 p.m., attendees will gather for a group walk to Monument Circle after the reception. We will experience “Shining A Light” – a captivating light and sound show projected on the AES building. This multimedia presentation will illuminate the history, accomplishments, and journey of Asian Americans in Indiana, showcasing their profound contributions to the cultural tapestry of our state. The reception and Shining A Light show are FREE.

This event allows everyone to unite as a community, celebrate the heritage, and recognize the invaluable contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Indiana.
