Downtown Indy Alliance

The Crane Bay Event Center

This isn’t just another community gathering. The State of Downtown is our signature event — one day each year when the people who live, work,​ invest and lead, in Downtown Indianapolis come together to shape what’s next for the heart of our city.While Downtown Indy, Inc. produces and supports dozens of free, public events each year, this one is different. It’s uniquely for Downtown — our residents, business owners, employers, and civic leaders — and it’s our only annual fundraiser. Every ticket sold, fuels the work that keeps Downtown safe, clean, welcoming, and thriving.Join us on Thursday, September 25 from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. at The Crane Bay Event Center for an evening that blends reflection and vision: celebrating the legacy of the people and businesses who built this place, exploring what’s ahead for Downtown Indianapolis in 2025 and beyond, and connecting with the leaders, doers, and dreamers shaping our future.Your seat at the State of Downtown isn’t just a ticket to an event — it’s an investment in the future of our city’s core.Guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres from Cunningham Restaurant Group and Crystal Catering, along with beverages from Upland Brewing Company, Easley Winery, and Hi &amp; Mighty.A know before you go will be sent out prior to this event with parking and other details.
