Fans are joyful that 135,000 people can once again attend the Indianapolis 500. But much of the traditional entertainment around the race hasn t returned to its pre-pandemic form.
Some events are postponed or made invite-only, some are canceled altogether and others have been recalibrated to meet race fans where they live. Here s a look at what s going on with the Indy 500 Festival Parade, Carb Day and Snake Pit concerts, Off the Grid and Rev.
