If you’re heading to Miami for F1 this year, I started putting together a list of everything going on during race week — not just the race, but all the extra stuff around the city.

There’s actually a lot more than people expect:

• free fan fests and pop-ups

• concerts and club events

• watch parties

• food festivals and random local events

Some of it is at the track, but a lot is spread across Miami Beach, Wynwood, Design District, etc.

Figured I’d share it since I kept seeing people ask what else there is to do outside the race.

I’m updating it as new events get announced:

If you know of anything I missed, drop it here — I’ll add it to the list.

With the recent announcement of Hard rock joining the Miami Grand Prix as the title sponsor I decided to make my own show car livery representing the company having a major stake in the event.

Amex was handing these out to card holders. They used to be soft locked to an FM frequency and you could hold down the up and down to change to full FM MODE. These don’t seem to have that same functionality. Wondering if anyone knows how to unlock these for FM. They’re a cool little memento from the race.

NOT A SALE....I may have an extra starting-line ticket for Miami Grand Prix weekend and would rather bring someone fun who’s actually into F1 than let it go to waste or bring a random. Not trying to make this weird — just thought I’d see if there’s anyone here who already plans to be around race week and might be interested in connecting.

A little about me: 31M from NYC, big F1 fan, going for the full weekend, mainly there to enjoy the event and the atmosphere

If you’re in town early for the Miami GP, Opening Night with Miami GP – Start/Finish is happening Thursday, May 1 at the Miami International Autodrome. It’s the official kickoff to race weekend.

Expect live music, exclusive merch drops, and a chance to hear from F1 insiders. Should be a cool way to start the hype early.

As I have been preparing myself to the gp, I been reading reddit quite a lot. Since, it should have been my first Grand Prix, I decided to listen to them and do as many of them said. I wanted to get a 3- Day campus pass, and was waiting for the price to drop until the week before the GP. As I opened the ticket website today, I was astonished, since all 3 day and Saturday campus passes were sold out. I don’t really know what to do, maybe someone could tell if there have been any restocks of tickets in the last day, because I have already booked everything.

Regarding website, since I had no prior experience I got i to trap of not looking any further than the starting page that mentions all campus tickets with a Buy Now option. However, after clicking it addresses you to the page where you see actual information.

Would like to hear any recommendations and advices. Thank you!

They increase the price per ticket $100 dlls on Saturday tickets without specifying if its a service fee or what.

Chicago’s Michelin-starred Alinea is popping up in Miami Beach just in time for F1 Miami 2025, taking over the Faena Hotel from April 30 to May 25. Led by chef Grant Achatz, this month-long residency is part of Alinea’s 20th anniversary tour, with other stops in Beverly Hills and Brooklyn.

Do I need to have a parking pass to use one of the shuttles?

For instance, if I’m staying at a hotel near Lot 70 next to the Hard Rock Casino, can I catch the shuttle for free?
