This marks a return to the track for the full-blown event in the month of May for the first time since 2019. The coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of the event in 2020 and Rev 2021 was moved to July, when 3,000 people attended, enjoying bites, presented by more than 50 chefs and inspired by IndyCar drivers. Revelers included celebs, the likes of “Dancing with the Stars” finalist and driver James Hinchcliffe, taking in entertainment on several stages, a live art exhibit and a DJ party at the Yard of Bricks.

Rev, which usually takes place ahead of the Indianapolis 500, is a fundraiser for the Indiana University Health Foundation and supports statewide trauma and critical care programs, as well as care for drivers and patrons at the IU Health Emergency Medical Center at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The event has raised more than $5 million since its start in 2014.
