The Northwest's Premier Car Enthusiast Weekend



       The Sunriver Festival of Cars is a fun, low-key car enthusiast event like no other. The main event is the one-day Festival held at Sunriver Resort on their beautiful Meadows Golf Course driving range, located directly behind the Sunriver Resort Lodge. This will offer a beautiful setting and a virtually unlimited capacity for participants and spectators.
       But there’s much more to appeal to the enthusiast. It all starts with a Welcome Reception Friday night. Then there’s the casual and fun Saturday evening awards banquet. Then it stretches into Sunday with a breakfast and grand finale outdoor lunch, with the infamous Sunday Dash taking you from one meal to the other.
       Started 12 years ago as the Sunriver Exotic Car Show, this has become a must-do annual event for an increasing number of car enthusiasts. Over 200 enthusiast cars are expected to participate in this fantastic event.

Our Unique Atmosphere
       During its 12-year history, this event has developed a unique atmosphere of being relaxed and fun with participants being able to get to know other like-minded enthusiasts who may travel in other car hobby circles during the year. No other car event has been able to do this, and this tradition will be kept alive.
       Every component of the Festival will be geared toward assuring the atmosphere keeps the same comfortable feel. Every element will be designed to keep competitive energies in check, allowing just enough to make things interesting but still keeping it fun. The relaxed and inviting atmosphere is a key element to the Sunriver Festival of Cars, and it is what keeps participants coming back.

The Festival Car Show
       Imagine your car included in the Festival's "vintage" classes based on the year of production, parked next to many other performance and special interest cars, with several thousand spectators swarming around throughout the day.
       Master of Ceremonies, Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market and television automotive dignitary, will keep the show lively throughout the day, and will showcase each model entered in the Festival – maybe even your car.
       Don’t worry about stocking up on Qtips. The Festival is more of a display than a concours, so a wash and wax is all you really need, although there’s plenty of room for excess if you are so inclined.
       Feel like drooling? Check out the Festival’s exciting display of Supercars – production cars we have all lusted for and which are/were among the fastest cars of their time – anchored by a McLaren F1 and accompanied by the usual complement of extraordinary Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and many others.
       Automotive sponsors Carrera Motors, Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo, Lamborghini of Portland and Sports Car Shop will all have displays on te Festival grounds, some with demo cars available. Carrera Motors intends to use the Festival for the debut of the new 2009 Porsche 911.
       Tired of kicking tires? Relax in the Festival Participants’ Hospitality Tent and listen to the Festival’s live music. Or check out the many vendor displays, featuring many automotive concepts as well as many non-automotive concepts that fit the car enthusiast’s lifestyle.
       Hungry or thirsty? Try one or several of the assorted food, beer and wine vendor stations.

The Festival Banquet 
       This will be the most fun banquet you will ever attend. It’s designed to let you mingle with the many like-minded car enthusiasts you met during the day, with excellent food served by the Sunriver Resort. Casual attire is fine.
       You will enjoy an entertaining presentation by Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market magazine. If you haven’t heard Keith speak, you’re in for a treat.
       We’ll end with our awards presentation. Our main award is People’s Choice. Our secondary awards are, shall we say, rather unusual. Half the fun is finding out (after the fact, of course) what the award categories are.

The Sunday Dash
       Sunday morning starts with a hosted breakfast at Caldera Springs Lake House. Then it’s the infamous Sunday Dash, a two-hour-or-so romp through the Central Oregon countryside on interesting, lightly traveled roads. It’s the perfect opportunity to stretch your car’s legs, but participation is limited to avoid traffic jams, so register early.
       The Sunday Dash and the weekend end with a BBQ/picnic style lunch at a scenic outdoor location. Then you’re on your own to find your way home. We guarantee the topic of discussion will be doing this again next year.
