    Here’s what’s happening and when during the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach
    • April 6, 2023

    Long Beach’s biggest annual party is almost here — and when it arrives, there sure will be a lot to do.

    The 2023 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is set for Friday to Sunday, April 14-16, and is expected to draw more than 180,000 people to the city’s downtown across the weekend.

    There will, of course, be plenty of racing. The titular IndyCar race on Sunday, April 16, is the headliner. But racing lovers can also catch American sports cars, Porches, trucks leaping off ramps, souped-up vehicles drifting — and even historic Formula 1 cars.

    Then there’s the autograph sessions, two concerts and an exotic car parade, as well as two preludes set for Thursday, April 13.

    So yeah, it will be a busy weekend.

    To help you make sense of it all, below is a schedule of Grand Prix events.
