Event Details
The Michigan City Public Art 5K and Landmark Discovery Experience is a community event that combines wellness, public art, local history, and interactive storytelling. Hosted in partnership with local organizations, the event aligns with the Michigan City Public Art Commission’s 5K Run/Walk. Participants will follow a route connecting public sculptures throughout the community, with opportunities to take selfies, engage with public art installations, and access audio storytelling through QR-enabled sites.
In addition to the 5K, attendees will be introduced to the Landmark + Art Guide (LAG), a growing initiative highlighting additional landmarks, historic sites, and cultural destinations throughout Michigan City and northwest Indiana. Event activations may include informational booths, guided mini-walking tours, site recommendations, and opportunities to explore locations beyond the race route.
The event is intended to celebrate creativity, encourage movement, increase awareness of local destinations, and strengthen community pride through arts and heritage engagement.
For more information about the day’s activities or registration for the 5K, visit the Decay Devils website or the Michigan City Public Art Committee website.
The Landmark + Art Guide and associated programming received support from a Historic Preservation Education Grant awarded by Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks.
