Specialty Units

AES 500 Festival Parade

A major attraction of the AES 500 Festival Parade is the incorporation and celebration of the most unique, special, and meaningful specialty units, year after year. The 500 Festival includes specialty units of all kinds and takes each and every application into consideration. Whether it’s the IMPD Motorcycle Drill Team, various color guards, special clubs, groups, or cultural organizations – all groups are encouraged to apply to help us celebrate the Indianapolis 500!

Applications are now closed for the 2023 Parade.
