SPARK on the Circle is BACK for 2025!
To kickoff the 2025 season, SPARK will host the Big Gay Pride Market on the Circle from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1.
In addition, SPARK will be open from 9 a.m. until dusk from May 31 through Sept. 28. SPARK offers shaded seating, fun games, free activities, artist workshops, live music, and more.
SPARK is a partnership with Big Car Collaborative, Downtown Indy, Inc., and the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development — with support from the Indiana War Memorials Commission. It is a continuation of Big Car’s work in 2024, 2023, 2022, and in 2015 on the Circle.
At Big Car, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project. The SPARK on the Circle pop-up park was collaboratively designed with Indianapolis-based Merritt Chase to be a restorative public place where people of all walks of life can relax, play, socialize, and engage with art and artists in the heart of our city.
