The San José Grand Prix will be so much more than a race.
It’s a week-long festival both on and off the track. Activities
include Speedfest, Pit Stop Park and Festival Areas with interactive
games, live music, driver autograph sessions and more. Off-track
events include a golf tournament, a drivers’ VIP party, the CXO
Go Kart race and the Canary Fund gala fundraiser. All proceeds from
these events are benefiting Canary Foundation.
