Welcome to Rennfest 2026! We'll be returning to Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa again this year. We've spent a lot of time looking at how we can make this year bigger and better than ever before, so we hope you'll come and join us this Labor Day weekend.
Despite the name, this is no renaissance festival! Rennfest is Peachstate's annual gathering of the Atlanta Porsche community and it's friends from neighboring regions. First run in 1968, It's an event where we celebrate all things Porsche and PCA, where we reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
We really did look at everything and that starts with the moment you arrive at Brasstown Valley.
Registration will now open on Thursday night. It's a simple drive up from Atlanta and this simple change allows us to add activities on the Friday. Don't worry if you can't make it though, Registration will still be available on Friday.
Food: Rennfest is really all about the community and nothing brings people together better than food! So new for 2026 we are including lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (even if you're going on a tour) as well as bringing back dinner on Saturday night. Lunch and dinner will be a great opportunity to regroup, share stories and make plans.
Unfortunately this has meant that the price has increased, but as most people already were eating at the resort or at nearby restaurants the actual cost to you has not changed.
Autocross has been a staple of Rennfest for many years, but with the introduction of more Tours last year we found that participation was low enough that it made it difficult to run. It's also logistically the most complex event to run at Rennfest and constrains us to locations that have a nearby Autocross facility.
So for 2026 we are shifting our Autocross to be part of our regular Autocross event at EchoPark Speedway on August 23rd. Just 2 weeks before Rennfest. If you have only autocrossed at Rennfest before then you are in for a treat, the course is much longer, more interesting and you'll get 10 runs instead of the typical 6-8 at Rennfest. Now you don't have to choose between going on an epic tour or driving an epic course – you can do both!
Registration opens from 5pm – 10pm. Take a leisurely drive up to Brasstown, check in and relax in your room ready for activities to start on Friday.
In the morning there will be a tour from Atlanta to Rennfest for those that want to come up on Friday. Registration will be ready for when you arrive.
Friday morning will also be a great opportunity to get started on your Concours prep and enjoy some of the resort facilities.
Lunch will be a buffet in the ballroom.
In the afternoon we are working on a schedule of activities with our sponsors, more to be announced soon.
In the evening we have our Welcome Party where we officially kick-off Rennfest 2026
Saturday is competition day! We start in the morning with the Concours. Come and show your pristine car or join us for a coffee and just look at them! We will also be holding a car park concours for those less able with the polishing clothes!
Join us for lunch in the ballroom.
Saturday afternoon is Rally time. The people with the best stories on Saturday night took part in the rally! Whether you're a veteran rallyist or a first timer you will definitely have fun on Gary's rally.
We will also have a tour leaving Saturday afternoon as an alternative to the rally. This will be a 4-hr round trip, more details to be announced soon.
Saturday evening we all gather for dinner and the Porsche! Porsche! Porsche! Party! The theme (unsurprisingly) is Porsche – wear as much Porsche branded merch as you can, with prizes for the best (and worst!) dressed as well as Porsche themed games.
We have two tours on Sunday. Our big tour will head up to the Cherohala Skyway in Tennessee, this will be a great tour for those that love scenery and love to drive. It will include a lunch stop in Tellico Plains.
Our smaller tour will take in a nearby town for lunch and sight seeing. This is perfect if you have younger kids who might not want to spend all day in the back of a car while dad has fun in the twisties!
We'll cap off Sunday with our Banquet and Closing Party.
If you are able to join us, we will be having a Porsche Parade out of Brasstown and back to the general Atlanta area. We'll be gathering in the Parking Lot before a mid-morning departure back to Atlanta.
