IPL 500 Festival Parade
Aug 22, 2019, 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM
presented by 500 Festival
UPDATED: The Indianapolis 500’s postponement to Aug. 23 is shifting the celebrations and events that usually happen in the days preceding it.
The IPL 500 Festival Parade will now take place Aug. 22. Off the Grid, the red-carpet celebration with celebrities and civic leaders, will be the evening before on Aug. 21. The parade and Off the Grid had previously been scheduled for May 23. Both are hosted by the nonprofit 500 Festival organization.
Original Post: The 500 Festival, a not-for-profit volunteer organization, was created in 1957 to organize civic events celebrating the greatest race in the world. 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 participated in festival activities throughout the month of May. Whether they were athletes running the Mini, 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.
