With the Miami Grand Prix rolling into the city this May, we’re shifting into high gear for one of the most electric weekends for race fans. And while the main event unfolds on the track, the rest of the city transforms into a global playground. From star-studded supper clubs on the sand and free fan festivals to exclusive rooftop watch parties and driver meet-and-greets, we’ve put together the best off-track events happening in the city during F1:

This four-day, off-track fan experience puts you right in the driver’s seat with iconic car displays, racing simulators and live DJs. The event is back for its fifth year, where fans can score exclusive merch, enjoy multiple bars and food vendors, as well as watch live race streams right in the heart of Wynwood. RSVP in advance to secure your spot and if you’re one of the first 250 to arrive, the first drink is on the house!
