Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix - Festival

Besides the ALMS and Indycar race, the Belle Isle Grand Prix was quite a festival. Marching bands, rock concerts, Sunday morning gospel concerts, autograph sessions, car shows, vendor booths, and county fair type attractions for the kids. The volunteers were plentiful, and friendly. Roger Penske invested a lot of money into the event, and that included a lot of rehab on the Belle Isle park. From the sounds of it, this is the best the park has looked in years. This was my first time in Detroit, and I'd have to say they did a great job with the event.
