2017 EURO Auto Festival

Embassy Suites-The Preserve Verdae

About this event

Registration will close October 7. There will be no exceptions to this deadline in order to give time for final layout.

Join us for the 2017 EURO Auto Festival at Embassy Suites - The Preserve at Verdae!

Once again we are back on the gorgeous grounds of The Preserve at Verdae hosted by Embassy Suites Greenville. This year we will be featuring all thing Volkswagen, so whether you have a rusted out Beetle, an original 23 window bus, or a fully restored Karman Ghia we are looking forward to showcasing you. Maybe we will even see some original dune buggy kits. No matter what you have, we will be putting on a good tribute to Volkswagen, past and present.

During the show day and at our evening parties, you will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Sport’s Car Market’s Keith Martin. Keith will be the MC for the event and when not touring the show field and speaking with you, he will be giving out awards for each class.
