Lunchtimes at Lockerbie Place
Stop by to enjoy the peace and quiet and various activities that this downtown green space has to offer — along with a soundtrack provided by live musicians or a WQRT FM DJ from right here in your city. It’s free to attend! Challenge a friend to a game of ping pong , play giant Jenga, and find your new favorite musician or food truck.
When? Every Tuesday from May 6 through Oct. 7, 2025. Food trucks and activities on site from 11:30 am-1:30 p.m. and live music or 99.1 WQRT FM (alternating weeks) 12-1 p.m. Games are out all of the time!
Where? This program happens at 320 N New Jersey Street in the greenspace right off the Cultural Trail, next to Needler’s Market.
Who? This creative placemaking project is by Big Car Collaborative and made possible by CitiMark and Gershman Partners.

A little history: This project started in October of 2017 when our Indianapolis Spark Placemaking crew teamed up with CitiMark and Gershman Partners to bring short-term public programming to the Lockerbie Marketplace small park area between Alabama, New York, New Jersey, and Vermont streets in the heart of Downtown. This previously underutilized green space is surrounded by a grocery store and other office and retail spaces and is located just off of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. Due to successful events and programming, we were invited back.
