Welcome to the countdown to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing at the 500 Festival Kickoff to May, presented by STAR Bank, on Monument Circle. From Indianapolis Colts Punter, Pat McAfee, to the Indy Eleven, to our most lovable mascots, you never know WHO will kickoff the Month of May or HOW they’ll do it!

The celebration traditionally starts with the arrival of the Chevy #FestivalCars, led by the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car. At the Kickoff to May, you can also enjoy food from some of Indy’s favorite food trucks, pick up prizes from exhibitors, get photos with the #FestivalCars, and more! This event is free and open to the public.

Join us on Monument Circle for an exciting event!
