This is a question for those that have attended the Parade in the past. I am planning to attend my first Porsche Parade next June in North Carolina. I can not take time from work to attend every day of the Parade. Can you recommend what are the best days to attend?
Should I attend the first half or the second half of the Parade? Are there any particular events that I should attend?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Parade is a blast - I've been to the last several, and the group from zone 7 I usually go with is already making plans for a large caravan to Charlotte. When you go to parade depends on what you want to see and do, if you can't attend the whole thing. Generally, the week goes like this: Sunday night, big welcome party - PAG usually makes big announcements at the welcome party. Monday is usually the concours... if you haven't seen a parade concours, you're in for a real treat. The factory ususaly sends some great cars over from the museum - and Parade brings out the best of the best... just watching them prepare the cars is a treat.

Tuesday is usually the rally day - there's a very serious rally, and a gimmick rally. Wed/Thursday is usually the autocross. Many of the best drivers in the country usually participate... they already have a schedule...

Parade Charlotte - Porsche Parade 2008

Now that I see the schedule, looks like Charlotte starts on a Saturday with the welcome party... so back all those events i just told you about by a day.

I hope to see you there.
