Beginning this year, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach has been dubbed by organizers as “Southern California’s 200-mph beach party.”
And it will be hard to miss the beachy vibes if you attend the party this weekend.
Those who visit the Grand Prix, which runs Friday to Sunday, April 14-16, will see the beach theme represented in the concourse’s color scheme – bright orange, sky blue and sunset yellow.
The beach color palette can already be seen around the city, with banners along Long Beach streets featuring a blue background, palm tree silhouettes and pops of yellow to grab the attention of those passing by.
And the welcome signs on the way into the Grand Prix grounds will boast bright orange, checkered patterns and an outline of the beach sun.
These colors will adorn the track as well.
