PCA Porsche Parade
It happens once a year and is the big Porsche Club event drawing members from all across North America. It is a week of competitive events, to socialize and enjoy their cars with seminars and tours. Parades are typically held in the summer, and each year the Parade moves to a different part of the country.
Parade Locations – Past and Present:

The term “Parade” evolved in August 1956, when 64 enthusiastic entrants gathered at a suburban Washington, D.C. motel for four days of Porsche enjoyment and friendship. A “parade” of Porsches through the countryside caused everyone to refer to the event as the Parade and the name has stuck. Besides entrants, representatives from the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, and from Porsche Cars North America also attend, along with numerous automotive-related spokespeople.
