Porsche Parade 2025
In 2021, I had the incredible opportunity to attend my first Porsche Parade, held in the charming town of French Lick, Indiana. I had never been there before, but from the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the beauty of the area. The entire week was filled with exhilarating drives, stunning landscapes, and an atmosphere that truly celebrated the spirit of Porsche enthusiasm.
One of the highlights of the event was the sheer joy of driving through Indiana’s picturesque
countryside. The winding roads, sweeping curves, and unexpected twists and turns made for an unforgettable driving experience. It was a thrill to push my Porsche through these scenic routes, feeling the perfect harmony between man, machine, and road. Each drive felt like a new adventure, revealing hidden gems of the Midwest that I had never experienced before.
Beyond the roads, the camaraderie was just as impressive. I met so many fellow Porsche enthusiasts from all over the nation, all sharing the same passion for these incredible machines. The sense of community was overwhelming, with every conversation sparking new friendships and shared stories of automotive adventures. It was a week of bonding over our mutual love for Porsche, and I left with a whole new group of friends who continue to fuel my enthusiasm for the brand.
Another exciting aspect of the Parade was getting to go behind the scenes at some incredible locations. We had the privilege of an exclusive look at Griot's Garage, where we learned about their passion for car care and detailing products. Additionally, a visit to the legendary Churchill Downs gave us a fascinating glimpse into the world of horse racing history. These experiences added an extra layer of excitement to an already unforgettable event.
Fast forward to today, and I am thrilled to share that Porsche Parade 2025 will be held in Oklahoma City! The PCA Warbonnets, a group I have been actively involved with for years, are working hard to make this event truly special. Having served as Vice President for the past few years and been on the board for several years, I’ve had the privilege of helping organize two drives for this year’s Parade. I can’t wait for attendees to experience these curated routes and enjoy the beauty that Oklahoma has to offer.
In anticipation of Porsche Parade 2025, I’ve also designed a LIMITED EDITION shirt that anybody can purchase to commemorate the event. It’s a great way to showcase our excitement and make memories of what promises to be an incredible gathering of Porsche enthusiasts.
Looking back, my first Porsche Parade in French Lick was an unforgettable experience that deepened my passion for the brand and the community. As we gear up for Oklahoma City, I’m looking forward to another fantastic event filled with thrilling drives, amazing people, and an unwavering love for Porsche. Buckle up, because this year's
Parade is going to be an adrenaline-fueled, tire-squealing, gear-shifting adventure of a lifetime. See you on the road—just try to keep up!
