Ladies will be selected for Queen & Court to participate in parades and festivals for the 2025-26 reign to advocate for Indy's international scene and promote Nationalities Council of Indiana in the community.

Rebuilding Social Media

Due to access issues, we had to start a new Facebook page last year. We also recently started a page for our NCI Festival Queens and NCI Instagram. Please help us rebuild our following by liking our new pages and giving them a share. Your support is appreciated! #NCIfestivals

AES Indy 500 Parade Registration ALMOST FULL

Picture

"The NCI parade group of 125 participants is organized by the Nationalities Council of Indiana (NCI). The photos introduce us to a riot of vibrant color, exotic and iconic national festive fashions, and the joyful spirit of participants from many cultures and over 40 nationalities. The participants in their spectacular outfits and enthusiastic, radiant spirit add to the Iconic Moments in Indy, the theme of this year's (2024) parade. We are thrilled to see the NCI unit as an annual feature of the nationally renowned festival parade for the last 14 years."
