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.
Euro Fest 1
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.
