As Mayor of California’s seventh largest city, I’m excited to welcome you to our unique and vibrant corner of California; a place so global in scope and makeup it’s known as the “International City,” yet so close-knit and caring it also goes by “City of Neighborhoods.”

What is the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach?
Drawing over 185,000 fans, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is a 3-day, 2-night festival where world-class racing takes to the streets of Downtown Long Beach. You’ll find 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.
