Indy Toronto 2025: Street Racing Returns Downtown

Family Fun, Food, & Fierce Racing July 18–20

Downtown Toronto is gearing up for a full-throttle summer celebration as the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto returns July 18–20, 2025. The city’s streets will once again echo with the roar of engines and cheers from fans during this three-day racing festival.

This year marks the 37th edition of the event, held on a 2.874-kilometre, 11-turn temporary street circuit. The course wraps around Exhibition Place and hugs the scenic shores of Lake Ontario. It’s Toronto’s biggest motorsport party—and the only international stop on the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar.

What to Expect

Besides INDYCAR, the weekend also showcases races from the USF Pro 2000, USF2000, Emzone Radical Cup Canada, and Miata Canada Cup. Whether you’re a longtime racing fan or just discovering motorsports, there’s something for everyone.

Off the track, festival-goers can enjoy international food trucks, beer gardens, and live entertainment. Activities for kids and families abound, including the Rookie Racers program designed to give children a behind-the-scenes racing experience.

Free Fan Friday returns, offering free general admission on July 18, courtesy of Ontario Honda Dealers. Attendees are encouraged to make a donation to Make-A-Wish® Canada, which has received over $1 million through past Fan Friday efforts.

That same evening, Rev & Run hits the track. It’s a community-focused event featuring 5000m and 1000m fun runs to support the Parkdale Community Food Bank, which serves more than 10,000 Toronto-area families monthly.

On Saturday, Ride the Track gives cycling fans the rare chance to pedal the Indy circuit. All proceeds go to The Children’s Breakfast Clubs, helping provide hot meals to children in need across the GTA.

Race day coverage begins at noon ET on Sunday, July 20, broadcast live across TSN and CTV2 in Canada, and FOX in the U.S. All sessions will stream on INDYCAR LIVE.

Ticket prices range from $50 single-day general admission to $110 for weekend grandstand seats. Kids under 12 get in free with a ticketed adult, making this a wallet-friendly family affair.
