Presented by DeFoor Brothers and hosted by Fifty Plus Racing Foundation, Inc., the 2021 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival includes activities in Chattanooga’s West Village, the Tennessee Riverfront and the Westin Hotel Chattanooga.

New events planned for 2021 include concerts, Mecum car collectors’ presentation, wheel-to-wheel racing on a new track currently under construction, and multiple celebrity appearances throughout the weekend. As it did in its inaugural year in 2019, the Festival will focus on vehicles of all types.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer a full weekend of family-friendly events again this year at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival,” said Brian Redman, the 2021 Grand Ambassador of the Festival. “We are expecting to be on the other side of the pandemic and working hard on adding even more exciting and fun activities for all.”
