Start your engines! It’s race day! 🏁🏎️🏆
Did you know? The Tent was gifted to the park to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 500 Festival! This wind-activated tower is comprised of two panels covered in nearly 500 hinged “flags.” The wind becomes visible as brightly colored flags move and flicker in the sunlight.

Fun fact! The sculpture is 43 feet tall!
