About this event
We are currently rescheduling this event due to the impact of Hurricane Helene in the surrounding areas.
Join us for the 2024 EURO Auto Festival at Embassy Suites - The Preserve at Verdae!
This year, EURO is featuring "The Original Hybrid."
What does that mean, you might ask? Let's see if we can answer that for you...
For 2024, we are celebrating the European automobiles that have been born out of great collaborations across European countries and with countries in the New World and even Japan. Think Shelby bringing together British sports cars with American muscle to create the Cobra and Alpine Tiger. Think of all the beautiful Italian sports cars with American V8s powering them. (Like the Italian beauty which Ford powered, Pantera, featured on the official 2024 EURO poster.) There’s also all of the American, French, German, and British cars who’s styling benefited by a “nip and tuck” from Italian design firms and coach builders. And, we’re not forgetting the American and Japanese cars made better through Lotus Engineering (and others — Nash Healey, anyone?). We’re calling the results of these special cross-border collaborations the Original Hybrids.
We will be back on the gorgeous grounds of The Preserve at Verdae hosted by Embassy Suites Greenville. Our emcee will be Bill Rothermel. Bill serves as the emcee at the Highlands Motoring Festival, Amelia Island Concourse, and many others...over the years, 170 and counting.

FRIDAY EVENTS
Experience European style roads while touring the Blue Ridge Mountains on EURO’s curated group drive.
Two different routes available at your choice:
- Cruise Rally - Shorter, more leisurely drive designed to allow passengers and drivers to enjoy the road and the view.
- Spirited Rally - Longer and more technical drive designed to thrill.
Groups will launch on the Northern edge of Greenville County and head into the beautiful scenery and quickly growing mountains of the Upstate. Around lunchtime, both groups will reconnect at an amazing lunch spot near the picturesque Lake Glenville.
Once you’ve had a good meal and a good stretch, we will enjoy a second scenic route back to Downtown Greenville where some custom EURO cocktails, Mediterranean Tapas and gift bags wait for you at Curean.
Location: The Preserve at Verdae
Date/Time: Friday, October 18 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM
