CAR MEETUPS
On four Saturdays during Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed, the NC Museum of Art will present juried car shows along Blue Ridge Road, featuring Porsche, American, European, and Art cars. The winning cars, selected by distinguished jurors including automotive reporters, museum directors, and car collectors, will be on view in a designated area, and Best in Show winners will be chosen.
Attendees can also
enjoy coffee, snacks from food trucks, and music. The events include
family-friendly activities and a kids play zone, as well.
In addition to the Winner’s Circle of cars selected by the juror, there will be a
Drive-ups section at each meetup for those who wish to display their car but
not submit to be juried. The
Drive-ups section will have a limited number of spaces and will be available first come, first serve. (Vehicles must arrive by 8 am and must stay in place for the entirety of the meetup event.)
