Celebrate May with Us!
The 500 Festival is a nonprofit community organization dedicated to producing life-enriching events and programs that celebrate the spirit and legacy of the Indianapolis 500.
Over the past 60+ years, the 500 Festival has grown to become one of the largest festivals in the nation. Each year, 500,000 Hoosiers and visitors participate in festival activities throughout the month of May. Whether they were athletes running the Mini-Marathon, fourth-grade students participating in the Education Program, families enjoying the state’s largest festival for kids, or spectators being dazzled by one of the nation’s premier parades, they were there, celebrating the legacy.
By fostering a positive impact on the city and state, we ensure that every Hoosier can celebrate the legacy of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing®
