Downtown

 The celeb lineup as of press time looks musically old school (Eddie Money, Olivia Newton-John, Gladys Knight, Rick Springfield…) and reality-TV-heavy (including folks from “Storage Wars” and “Deadliest Catch”), so it’s another year when we’ll have to remind ourselves that the 500 Festival Parade is really a celebration of the drivers. And so it is. Look for the traditional side-by-side-by-side trios of drivers as well as appearances by Mario Andretti and Johnny Rutherford, plus balloons, bands and more. Details here.

Indianapolis Zoo

Say goodbye to the goats from the petting area of the zoo behind the merry-go-round. Say hello to a lorikeet resting on your head picking at your ear wax. This weekend, the Indianapolis Zoo gets a significant upgrade—and patrons may make some new feathered friends—with this new permanent exhibition. Included is a flamingo-filled outdoor area with barely a barrier, walk-through aviaries with flocks of birds all around, and a 4-D theater where (for an additional fee), Dora and Diego take about 50 people at a time on a wind-blown, banana-smelling, bubble-blowing trip to the tropical rainforest. There’s a playground, too, and an area designed to attract local birds to the exotic mix. Also cool: A new Nursing Mom’s Nest, a separate building with privacy areas (decorated with animal-painted art) for when it's feeding time for the humans. Details here. 

Those Hot Wheels cars found at the toy store that feature flashy colors, interesting designs and plenty of chrome are now going full-size at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The “Hot Wheels for Real” exhibit, in a partnership with Mattel, features full-size replicas of some cars and some special orange track setups. The exhibit opens Saturday and runs through January.

The Indianapolis 500 could set a track record for heat during this year’s race. Weather forecasts say it could reach 94 degrees during Sunday’s race with a 100-degree heat index, which factors in humidity. That would break the previous race-day record of 92 degrees set in 1937. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway said it will use cooling fans and misting stations to help fans stay cool. The speedway medical staff expects to treat more than 1,000 people for heat-related illness on race day.

The woman accused of fatally shooting a local minister pleaded not guilty at her initial hearing Tuesday morning.

Barcroft’s mother said her daughter has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and abuses the drug Adderall. Other family members said they think Barcroft is mentally ill and dangerous.
