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 year’s feature model is German Sports Cars.

Our Unique Atmosphere

Started 15 years ago as the Sunriver Exotic Car Show, this has become a must-do annual event for an increasing number of car enthusiasts. Over 150 enthusiast cars are expected to participate in this fantastic event. During its 15-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.

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 Q-tips. 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.

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.

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.
