MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Despite months of protests by some Miami Gardens elected officials and residents, the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix will happen after all.

On Thursday, organizers of the race confirmed it will be held on May 6-8, in 2022.

"There has been tremendous enthusiasm and anticipation for this event, and we're happy to be able to announce the date so that people can start planning for it."
