The final day of the Grand Prix of Long Beach’s golden anniversary celebration has officially kicked off — with the event’s titular race slated for this afternoon.

Spectator gates at the Grand Prix’s final day opened at 7:30 a.m., with thousands of fans trailing onto the concourse to kick off the day’s festivities with IndyCar warm-ups at 9 a.m.

This year, Long Beach is the third race in the IndyCar Series season.

The first two races this season were the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg (in Florida) and the Thermal Club IndyCar Grand Prix.

Alex Palou, 28, won both of those — leaving fans to wonder if the Spaniard will start the 2025 season off with a hat trick in Long Beach today.

It’s been an auspicious start for Palou, the two-time defending IndyCar Series champion. But he’s never won the Grand Prix of Long Beach; the closest he’s come is a third-place finish last year — in a thrilling race won by Australian Scott Dixon.

This year’s Grand Prix will also run 90 laps this year instead of the traditional 85 — and will feature a special tribute to the first responders and firefighters who battled the L.A. Wildfires in January.

On Saturday, Kyle Kirkwood earned his first NTT P1 Award of the season and third of his career with a top lap of 1 minute, 6.1921 seconds in the No. 27 PreFab Honda on his last lap in the Firestone Fast Six.

Before the race, 27 first responders will ride in the back of pickup trucks alongside IndyCar drivers in a parade lap — with Los Angeles city fire Capt. Erick Scott taking the helm as honorary starter.

Pasadena Fire Department Chief Anthony James will also get a special recognition before the race kicks off.

Aside from the titular race, Sunday will have plenty more to offer for race funs, including the second Historic Formula exhibition and GT America Race, alongside the Mothers Exotic Car Parade.

Off the track, fans will surely check out the Lifestyle Expo — stocked with more than 100 vendors, from toy car sellers to an In-N-Out truck to a high-tech racing simulator — at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center.

There’s also the Food Truck Village, Family Fun Zone and plenty more for fans to check out on the last day of the Grand Prix.
