From the monument, they had the road blocked south all the way until the underpass, on Meridian St, then a block east and west. There was a Jagermeister outdoor area serving Jager and beer, and also where they had bike dynos. Lots of bars and restaurants to hang out in, I'd recommend the Wild Beaver Saloon



The Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is a 284 feet (87 m) tall neoclassical oolitic limestone and bronze monument in the center of Indianapolis, Indiana (and Marion County, Indiana). It was erected to honor Hoosiers who were veterans of the American Revolution, territorial conflicts that partially led up to the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the US Civil War, and the Spanish American War. It was designed by German architect Bruno Schmitz and was completed in 1901. In addition to its external commemorative statuary and fountains, the basement of the monument is the Colonel Eli Lilly Civil War Museum, a museum of Indiana history during the American Civil War. There is also an observation deck that can be reached by stairs for free or by elevator for a $1.00 charge. It takes 331 steps to reach this deck, 330 of which are numbered.
