The “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” is roaring back into town, and what better way to celebrate than with an Indy 500 Party? Here are 4 tips for planning an unforgettable Indy 500 Party with your friends and family!
1) Book Early: Reserve your tables and chairs well in advance – Indy 500 is a major event, and rentals can book up quickly.
2) Set the scene with classic black and white racing check linens.
3) Fuel the fun with themed eats! Keep it simple with finger foods that are easy to grab and munch on during the race. Think pigs in a blanket, sliders, and bite-sized desserts like brownies or cupcakes. Keep hot food hot with our chafing dishes and display desserts on cake stands or platters.
4) Create a signature cocktail or mocktail. Mix up a Pit Crew Punch and serve in a beverage dispenser or punch bowl. We also offer coolers and beverage tubs for easy access to drinks for your guests!
5) Encourage friendly wagers by organizing a pool for who will win the race or prepare some Indy 500 trivia questions for a mid-race activity.
