❤️🤍 A little Redbird pride, right in the heart of Downtown Bloomington!

Our Downtown ring is lighting up red and white this weekend in honor of Illinois State University's Homecoming!

It's our way of rolling out the welcome mat for Redbirds returning home and celebrating the university that's such an important part of our community.

Happy Homecoming, Redbirds! 🐦❤️

Such a lovely tribute Downtown Bloomington IL is putting on tonight.

The public is invited to join us. Bring a lawn chair and be part of this special evening of remembrance.

Due to the incoming weather, the event has been postponed.

Be on the look out for our opening date, coming soon!

🌧️ LIGHT UP THE RING IS BEING RESCHEDULED 🌧️

We really wanted to light up Downtown Bloomington Friday night, but Mother Nature apparently has other plans.

With rain in the forecast and an outdoor celebration that includes live music, family activities and, of course, the inaugural lighting of the Ring Structure, we’ve made the decision to reschedule Light Up the Ring.

The good news? The celebration is still happening! 🎉 We’re working on a new date and will share it as soon as it’s confirmed.

The Ring has waited this long for its big 'official' moment. We want to do it right. 💡

Stay tuned!!!
