NEWNAN, GA — Get ready for a action-packed Saturday! The third annual Coweta Grand Prix, presented by Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America, is set to return to downtown Newnan this Saturday, April 19, 2025.

This free, family-friendly event kicks off at 11 a.m. in a brand-new location on East Broad Street—featuring a bigger hill for even more excitement. The event runs through 1:30 p.m., with proceeds benefiting the Coweta Community Foundation and the Yamaha Downhill Dreams Academy. The Yamaha Downhill Dreams Academy gives local students the opportunity to design, build, and race their own soapbox cars while gaining valuable experience in STEM education, leadership, and teamwork.

“We’re looking forward to our best race yet in downtown Newnan, and it’s an event where the whole family can participate,” said Scott McInnis, executive director of the Coweta Community Foundation.
