Legends of the Interstates

Legends of the Interstate logo

We invite you to the NON-JUDGED, Legends of the Interstates auto gathering. This is an ALL EURO automobile display being held during the 17th Annual Renaissance Euro-Fest this October 5th. The LOTI corral is free to participants and the public.

We are looking for all year model EUROPEAN marques, stock or tastefully modified, that are not registered for the judged portion of the Euro-Fest Classic European auto show. It's a Coffee & Cars kinda vibe with VIP event parking for the Euro-Fest show.

We already have the Mercedes-Benz Club of America set to display along with the Porsche Club of America and the BMW Car Club of America. Still looking for some organized groups of other European marques. Again this is open to all years and models of EUROPEAN marques. You do not have to be an affiliated club member to display, individuals are welcome too as long as your ride is all EUROPEAN!

Again it is completely free to display your car and you will enjoy many of the perks a concours participant in the Euro-Fest Classic Show would, such as the exclusive BMW Motors Renaissance Road Rally Drive on Friday afternoon, along with discounted rates at the nearby Hyatt hotel and more.

All cars need to be in place by 9:00 am and are encouraged to stay the entire day with us to attend the Euro-Fest awards ceremony later that afternoon. Organized by marques, we will display on the east side grass between the Renaissance and I-55. Each respective club is encouraged to have a tent setup in their corral areas.

Contact Scott Boone at boones55@gmail.com for more information regarding The Legends of the Interstates.

Links to Past Shows

Once again for the 18th year in a row, the great automobiles and motorcycles of Europe will be coming to Renaissance at Colony Park in Ridgeland, MS for the annual Renaissance Euro Fest Classic European Auto and Motorcycle Show. Entries in the show must be twenty-five years or older (entries must be built in 2000 or earlier) except for a selection of newer special interest autos of rare and limited production.

For European auto enthusiasts, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty of British, Italian, German, and many other European vehicles. If brands such as Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen, Ferrari, Porsche, Land Rover, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Daimler, Jaguar, Norton, Ducatti, Royal Enfield, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, (to name just a few) excite your senses, then you need to get all in!

It’s a perfect time of year to be outside, strolling through the Renaissance, and viewing gorgeous autos and motorcycles.

This year the event will be held on Saturday, October 4th, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 AM. The show is open to all European Marques with no registration fees and is free to the public as well. Over 15,000 spectators are expected to view 150+ entries manufactured in five different countries, coming from ten different states.

If you are interested in entering an auto or motorcycle in the show, you may find an entry form at www.euro-fest.net THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE FOR PARTICIPANTS, BUT ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER VIA OUR WEBSITE WITH APPROVAL.

This year’s show will begin Friday, October 3rd with the Renaissance Road Rally Drive, from the Hyatt Hotel at the Renaissance. The police-escorted drive will travel on an enjoyable route to an equally enjoyable location and then back to the Renaissance for the “Pick Up Your Packet” Reception that evening.
