Long Beach celebrates 50 years of Grand Prix and promotes Earth Month initiatives

The Long Beach community is gearing up for an exciting weekend as the Grand Prix of Long Beach returns to celebrate its 50th anniversary from April 11 to April 13. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to purchase tickets for this thrilling event, which promises high-speed action and entertainment. City officials remind everyone to stay informed about street closures and event updates through the city’s social media channels.

In addition to the Grand Prix, April is Earth Month, and Long Beach is inviting residents to engage in activities that promote environmental protection. The city is hosting a Food Waste Prevention Week, with events scheduled at various locations. On April 8, residents can visit Bixby Park, followed by Bixby Knolls on April 10, and the downtown area on April 11. These events will provide valuable tips on how to store produce effectively, helping to reduce waste and keep food fresh.

Looking ahead, the Beach Treeds event is set for May 10, featuring the city’s West Side Promise initiative. This event encourages community members to enjoy the outdoors, whether by biking, skating, or walking. Residents are urged to prepare for a day of fun in the sun by visiting the Beach Treeds website for more details.

As Long Beach embraces these events, the community is reminded of the importance of participation in local initiatives that enhance both enjoyment and sustainability.
