Renaissance Euro Fest Returns
Classic car enthusiasts, start your engines!
Renaissance Euro Fest, the annual festival of stylish, swoopy European automobiles and motorcycles, returns to Ridgeland’s Renaissance at Colony Park on Saturday, October 1 for a 14th year. Attracting upwards of 150 impeccably restored European sports cars and motorcycles from ten different states, the popular all-day festival offers a jaw-dropping exposition of engineering expertise, and attracts more than 15,000 auto connoisseurs. The legendary European auto marques are all here: Rolls-Royce, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Porsche, Ducati, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, and many more. Featured automobiles and motorcycles will compete to win coveted awards across a variety of categories, from Grand Saloon to Nouveau Motorcycles.
Featured vehicles and motorcycles are all twenty-five years (or older), save for a limited selection of more recent “instant classics,” especially sought-after for their beauty and rarity. Standout entries to look out for this year include a 1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa, 1966 VW Beetle, a 1964 Triumph Herald; and even a 2022 Toyota Supra A91-CF, which was actually built in Austria.
New to this year’s festival are beverage trucks offering a variety of European beers for purchase. So consider this your invitation to marvel at an exceptional display of European automotive artwork while meandering through the old-world setting of the Renaissance at Colony Park.
