About BMW Festorics

The BMW CCA Golden Gate Chapter's Festoric event at Laguna Seca Monterey is perhaps the most significant of all our chapter events celebrating the mystique of BMW and our appreciation for our BMW's. By no doubt it is the most attended event of the year. Since its beginnings the Festorics has improved year by year in every one of the aspects by what this event is measured; the beauty of the setting, the hospitality, the efficient organization, the program at Laguna Seca, an enthusiastic audience, the awareness at BMW NA and BMW Performance Center and Driving School, and above all, the elegance, the originality and state of preservation of the precious participating automobiles and their drivers. At the Monterey Festorics one breathes an air of authentic pride, rather than the slightly commercial atmosphere of other events.

It is the focus on design, originality, perfect preservation and the noble spirit that brings us and our most important and beautiful cars together from all over the country - in a true celebration of the history of the BMW automobile.

The Organizing Committee will continue to shape the future of the Festorics as an extraordinary event that the people who love the most beautiful automobiles in the world as well as the most progressive designs of contemporary cars and prototypes will never forget their visit.

If you're new to BMW, new to the BMW Car Club of America, or new to the Golden Gate Chapter, we've got information just for you! Learn more about belonging to the BMW CCA—and making your membership truly worthwhile.

The BMW CCA Festorics is a great place to find out what the Club is all about. But be warned: After one magnificent weekend, you'll be circling August on your calendar every year!
