This past weekend, Downtown Detroit was the place to be.
The Detroit Grand Prix came back to the streets of detroit after 32 years, being on Belle Isle, and with temperatures in the 90s, that didn’t stop die-hard Grand Prix racing fans and spectators from coming out and enjoying the 3 day event.
The Detroit Grand Prix first hit the streets of Detroit in 1982, before moving to Belle Isle in 1989, where it stayed until 2022.
But not only was the Grand Prix bringing everyone to Downtown Detroit, there was another big event taking place at the Little Caesars Arena (LCA).
