2015 Circle of Lights Highlights

Seven mayors and nine governors have served our city and state over the past 53 years. However, only one organization has taken part each year in this holiday event since 1962. The IBEW #481 union electricians have always been the group on the ground to install and remove the decor. IBEW #481 was first the labor crew for the electrical contractor who managed the initial development and then became the labor leader that maintains, stores, installs and removes the decor annually.
Approximately 200 union electricians will gather alongside dozens of electrical contractors on Monument Circle to string the 4,784 lights and 52 garland strands, which will become the centerpiece of the 53rd annual Circle of Lights® presented by the Contractors of Quality Connection and Electrical Workers of IBEW #481. (More than six miles of electrical wire and more than two miles of garland make up the 52 stringers.)
