This high-energy festival is a celebration of speed, style, music, food, and fun—offering a thrilling, immersive experience that is free to the public. Enjoy a fun-filled, day-long concours/car show and a unique and sophisticated fashion show, where models are styled to perfectly complement the elegance and character of the cars on display.

Plus, the fun begins on Saturday, May 16, with the High-Octane Ball supporting Alexandria charities, filled with delicious hors d’euorves, dinner paired with expertly crafted cocktails and fine wines and delectable deserts setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
