Miami, a must-visit destination for Formula 1 fans with an immersive experience in 2026

South Florida Motorsports, promoter of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX, has unveiled a reimagined campus experience for the 2026 race, transforming the Miami International Autodrome into a vibrant, immersive destination inspired by the city’s iconic neighborhoods. Through authentic food, music, art and entertainment, each zone will reflect Miami’s unique cultural identity, offering fans an unforgettable journey without leaving the track.

Accessible to all ticket holders, the MIA Campus will feature themed areas modeled after celebrated districts such as Wynwood and Key Biscayne. Each zone will showcase popular local restaurants, bringing a distinctly Miami culinary experience to the event.

Katharina Nowak, President of the Miami Grand Prix, said the redesign reflects the city’s dynamic and diverse culture. As the race enters its fifth year, the goal is to immerse visitors—many traveling from across the U.S. and internationally—in Miami’s art, cuisine and lifestyle.

The West Campus, inspired by Little Havana, will feature the iconic Ball & Chain venue, complete with its pineapple-shaped stage, Cuban cuisine, live DJs and dancers. A Domino Park experience and an F1 World Champion “Walk of Fame” will enhance the festive atmosphere.

At the North Campus, inspired by Brickell, a sleek, modern aesthetic will mirror the city’s financial district. The Start Finish Suites will combine racing features with metallic design elements. Dining options include Doggi’s Arepa Bar, Pubbelly Sushi, SuViche, Novecento and Oakberry Acai, offering a mix of Venezuelan, Japanese-Latin, Peruvian and Argentine flavors.

The Fountains and Promenade, drawing from Coconut Grove, will provide a relaxed setting with lush greenery, shaded seating and artistic touches. Highlights include an outdoor gallery, historic race photos, and food from Miami Slice, Chèvre and Barilla’s Lasagna Bar.

The Beach zone, inspired by Miami Beach, will deliver a lively atmosphere with art deco visuals, vintage cars, lifeguard towers and lounge seating. Dining favorites such as Havana 1957, Cortadito and Cafe Americano will return.

East Campus will channel Wynwood’s bold street art scene, featuring murals, live art installations and a collaboration with the Art of Hip Hop, including a walk-through museum and live-painted show car. Food offerings include Sushi MAS, Skinny Louie’s, Cowy Burger and Crazy Poke.

The Marina, inspired by Key Biscayne, will debut the MSC Yacht Club, a five-deck structure with track views and premium hospitality. Guests can also enjoy live music at Jack’s Garage and dining from Bagatelle and La Boulangerie Boul’Mich.

Hard Rock Stadium, reflecting Miami Gardens, will feature a Community Zone highlighting local schools and artists, as well as a Bonhams car auction display. Bar 87 will celebrate the venue’s 40-year history.

Sunrise Key will host premium experiences including Empower Vista and Motorsport Alley, where fans can view support series cars up close.

Across hospitality areas, guests will enjoy cuisine from top venues including Café La Trova, MILA, Ossobuco, Ariete, Novecento and Pubbelly Sushi. Tickets, including the Campus Pass, are on sale since April 7.
