September Social - Thursday Night Dinner and Palladium Light Show
2023-09-21 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Palladium – Green Space, 355 City Center Dr, Carmel, IN, 46032, United States
Join the Indy Ambassadors for a fun filled night in Carmel. First at 7:30pm, you’re invited to dine with us at Matt the Miller’s Tavern. Around 9pm, we will walk over to see the $2M spectacle of light, some are describing as architectural cinema, projected onto the Palladium.
The system, dubbed “Palladiscope,” uses the walls, columns, and other surfaces of the Palladium as a kind of three-dimensional movie screen, showing an ever-evolving series of scenes. The city says the system has 12 different projectors and customized software.
The first show is titled “Eos: The First Dawn.” Showtimes start at 9 p.m. on Thursday, and the first performance will change through the season as nightfall happens earlier. The show is set to run four times each night – each half hour through 11 p.m.” –WISHTV.com
Both the dinner and free light show are independent and optional.
A portable lawn chair is recommended for maximum comfort during the show.
All are welcome! RSVP at our Meetup Event or email Chris Blair at volunteeradmin@indyambassadors.org.
