The 18th annual Highlands Motoring Festival is right around the corner. Join four days of fun-filled activities where wild automotive excitement awaits organizers and participants alike. Each year the event has been exceptional, but this year … Wow!
This year’s festival is “The Cars of Enzo Ferrari.” Many rare, classic Ferraris will grace our show field. And of course we will have our exhibit of exceptional Porsches, BMWs, Corvettes, and many others, hotrods and custom cars as well.
The weekend begins with the passionately popular guided drives, the One Lap of the Mountains “Grande” and the “Speciale” set for the 12 and 13 of June.
Friday evening, car-owners and drivers wishing to participate in the Main Street Parade gather in Kelsey Hutchinson Park at 5:30 P.M. to drive down Main Street to the delight of the spectators lining the street. The highlight of the weekend is the “Classics in the Park,” an invitational judged car show on Saturday, June 14 in Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park from 9:30 A.M. until 3:45 P.M. Awards will be given out in many categories.
The Gala is planned for Saturday evening, June 14, and tickets are still available, available for purchase on the website. Corky Corker, the Grand Marshall and celebrity guest will be presenting that evening at Wildcat Cliffs Country Club.
The weekend wraps up with “High Octane” Sunday morning at Kelsey Hutchinson Park giving anybody who wants an opportunity to show off their cars.
From its inception, the HMF has served multiple purposes. Sharing the organizers’ love for the art and progression of the automobile is primary. HMF supports the Town of Highlands and its businesses by inviting visitors to share in the beautiful environment that we enjoy every day. Raising money for local humanitarian nonprofits is key. Over the years the festival has raised over $650,000 for our charities. The recipients this year will be the Community Care Clinic, R.E.A.C.H. of Macon County, and The Literacy and Learning Center of Highlands.
The HMF is organized by a 100-percent volunteer group who put out maximum effort to please the most serious car enthusiast and the casual car lover. It’s still not too late to volunteer.
All monies raised are through our One Lap drives, sponsorships and donations. More information about volunteering, donating or sponsoring can be found on our website, highlandsmotoringfestival.com.
