INDIANAPOLIS — Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Indianapolis to watch the AES 500 Festival Parade. It featured floats, balloons, marching bands, local celebrities, and the 33 drivers that will race for the Borg-Warner Trophy at the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.
This year’s theme was Fueling May, which "celebrates the people, traditions, history, and memories that bring the spirit of May to life."
