The Best Fan Zones and Events at the Miami GP 2026

Formula 1 is so BACK after the five week break that was prolonged due to the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Grands Prix. It's round 4 of the 2026 F1 season and the drivers and teams are headed out to sunny Florida for the Miami Grand Prix.

The race weekend will run from Thursday April 30th to Sunday May 3rd, 2026.

The Miami Grand Prix has slowly become a fan favorite since its inaugural race back in 2023. Not only have there been incredible on track moments, like Lando Norris’ first career win in 2024, but this race is a star-studded event that highlights the high-speed action of the sport and emphasizes the effect it now has on the North American market.

Miami is very much a ‘go-big-or-go-home’ kind of place, and that is reflected in the fan zones, events, activations and performances that are lined up for the Miami Grand Prix.
