Carmel lights the Monon Greenway from Carter Green to Main Street with holiday displays and arches, free to stroll nightly. The route threads past City Center, Midtown and the Arts & Design District, putting cocoa and dinner stops steps away.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Carmel is around 5:20 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:51 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 24°F, so dress for standing around outside.
