The city of Fishers will unveil the downtown portion of the trail with the Nickel Plate Trail Grand Opening Celebration, presented by First Internet Bank, on Saturday, May 14.
From noon to 4 p.m., residents can explore the new trail and enjoy food trucks, public art, and more at the Switch Plaza and Monumental Stairs, 2 Nickel Plate Trail, located between North and South Street in Fishers’ downtown Nickel Plate Cultural District, as well as activations at Fishers Parks headquarters at Hub & Spoke, 8100 E. 106th St.
In the evening from 7 to 10 p.m., event-goers can enjoy a beverage from local breweries and stroll the trail while enjoying live music in the downtown area between North Street and South Street.
Event organizers are looking for Experience Ambassador volunteers to manage taking photos of guests with the Nickel Plate Trail “Letters.” Volunteers will use a point-and-click Polaroid camera to instantly print a photo for the guest, as well as manage the craft and giveaway area that will consist of NPT and Parks Swag as well as a Create-Your-Own Photo Holder. Volunteers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
