Continuing to provide unconventional free access across more than half of the venue, including Hart Plaza, Spirit Plaza, the Detroit Riverwalk, Woodward Avenue, Cadillac Square, Campus Martius Park, and courtesy viewing platforms along Jefferson Avenue, the Grand Prix weekend has become one of Detroit’s most inclusive and impactful annual festivals.

Beginning on Tuesday, anyone that secures a seat to this summer’s Grand Prix will also have an opportunity to purchase the new-for-2026 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear limited edition t-shirt at an exclusive ticketholder price.
