Fishers, IN – A candlelight vigil is planned in Fishers this month as part of National Police Week, giving Hamilton County residents a chance to honor fallen law enforcement officers and support those still serving.
According to the Fishers Police Department, the event will take place Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Liberty Plaza, located at Municipal Drive and 116th Street. The vigil is open to the public and encourages community members to gather in remembrance of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Organizers say the event will coincide with the National Candlelight Vigil held in Washington, D.C., where the names of fallen officers are formally recognized each year. The local ceremony in Fishers aims to mirror that tribute on a community level, offering residents a space for reflection and unity.
Attendees can expect a quiet, respectful atmosphere as candles are lit in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The department noted that the vigil also serves as an opportunity to show appreciation for active law enforcement personnel who continue to serve and protect the community daily.
Police Week events are observed nationwide each May, drawing attention to the risks faced by officers and honoring their service. In Hamilton County, the Fishers vigil is one of several ways residents can participate in that recognition.
Community members planning to attend are encouraged to arrive early and follow any on-site guidance from officials.
