Ferrari Cavalcade classiche 2026

20-09-2026 17:05 - EVENTS
75 CREWS COME TO LAKE GARDA FOR A LIVING CELEBRATION OF CLASSIC MODELS

Ferrari announces the 2026 edition of the Cavalcade Classiche, taking place from 21 to 25 September from the shores of Lake Garda. One of Ferrari’s most exclusive annual driving events, Cavalcade Classiche is a living celebration of Ferrari’s heritage. This year, it will bring together 75 crews from over 15 nations, giving owners and collectors of some of the Maranello marque’s rarest, most valuable cars the chance to get together and enjoy them as they were built to be driven – on the open road, together, as part of the Ferrari family.

The 2026 line-up showcases decades of design excellence and over 30 classic models, from 1948’s 166 MM, Maranello’s first bridge between racing and road cars, through to icons of the supercar era – the F40, F50 and the Enzo Ferrari – alongside touring legends such as the 365 GTB4, the 275 GTB and the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso. Each participating car reflects a distinct chapter in the Ferrari story, brought together for three days of driving by the collectors who keep that history alive.

While participation in the drive itself and its premium lifestyle events is reserved exclusively for Ferrari owners, Cavalcade Classiche has been designed to bring the spectacle of massed Ferraris and their unmistakable sound to everyone. Citizens, enthusiasts, tourists and students are invited to line the area’s historic town centres, lakeside promenades and piazzas throughout the week, for the rare opportunity to see the cars pass by – or to admire them up close at static public displays in some of the region’s most spectacular settings.

The first driving day, 22 September, traces the southern shore of Lake Garda and the surrounding moraine landscape, taking in the historic centres of San Felice del Benaco and Valeggio sul Mincio, with static displays beneath Sirmione’s Scaliger Castle and in the grounds of Parco Sigurtà, one of Europe’s most important nature parks.

On the second day, 23 September, the route climbs into the mountains of the Brentonico area before descending to Verona, where the cars will be displayed in Piazza Bra, in front of the Verona Arena. The afternoon will then continue along Lake Garda’s Brescia shore, culminating in a public display in the main parking area of the Vittoriale degli Italiani estate in Gardone Riviera, the famous residence of the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio.

The final driving day, 24 September, winds through the inland lake regions of Lombardy and Trentino, including a passage along the famous Strada della Forra, before an evening parade departs from Gargnano to close the event with a public display on the Lungolago Zanardelli in Salò.
