Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach

Drawing approximately 190,000 fans, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is a three-day, two-night festival where world-class racing takes over the streets of Downtown Long Beach. Now in its 50th year, this high-speed spectacle features Indy 500 race cars, top sports cars, Formula Drift, and SUPER trucks.

When you’re not captivated by the metal-to-the-pedal, need-for-speed, heart-pumping racing, there’s plenty to do off the beaten track. Like a Lifestyle Expo, Family Fun Zone, food trucks, concerts, car show featuring Ferraris, Porsches, Lotus and more. You can even score an autograph from the racers themselves at the Driver Autograph Session.

Your best bet is to grab an Uber, Lyft, or taxi and head to:

The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center
300 East Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90802

Public Transit will also be running or you can roll up on 2 wheels using the Long Beach Bike Share to get around.

While main streets like Shoreline Drive will be closed, some cross streets will remain open including Ocean Blvd. Event parking can be reserved through the Acura Grand Prix Ticket office and is pre-paid for Pike Parking (Chestnut Ave & Seaside Way) and Shoreline Parking (Entry off 710 freeway at Broadway.) There are also a variety of City-owned and Private lots throughout downtown.

Just a heads up — tailgating and overnight camping is NOT allowed in any Reserved Parking lot. Hang tags must be displayed properly or vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense.

Long Beach offers an array of ideally located and relaxingly comfortable accommodations — just what you need after a day of non-stop action. View our complete list of hotels here.

The next race will be held April 11-13, 2025.
