Sounds like a good time w/ good eatz. If anyone's interested in doing a group-drive down, let's setup a central meeting-spot (ie. Kerbey Lane Northwest (183 N) or somewhere else). I'll find more details about the event & venue, and then I'll post them on here so stay tuned-in!

I was at the festa last year, I highly recommend it. Parking at Laguna Gloria is a bit of a hassle.

Thanks for the insight, I'll look into what parking accommodations are provided this year and/or other nearby & convenient areas.

From what I've read & heard, I believe there will be quite a smörgåsbord of Italian autos from over the years, ranging from vintage models to late-model exotics (Ferrari, Lamborghini) as well as more pedestrian & common yet interesting marques (ie. Fiat, Alfa, Maserati, Lancia). Should be a good time. . .

Last year there was quiet a collection of Ferraris, some vintage 308s to a 360 and a couple Maranellos and some 456s. Also some nice Vespas, Aprilia and Ducati motor bikes. The food is good and very entertaining.
 
Are you going for sure Omar??
 
so far so good...

sounds like fun, but I don't think someone as young as I should attend this ;)

It's not an NSX gathering, nor a car gathering for that matter. It's more-so a fair or festival w/ an Italian theme (w/ a nominal admission/entrance charge, allocated as a donation towards the museum). Think of it as a fair/picnic vibe. Not to mention that it's Austin afterall, just about every other 18+ year old has a ~$40k+ vehicle. . .

Stop by for some fun, good eatz, and engaging convo' w/ like-minded folk. However, for NSX-centric activity, wait for TxChopperGuy to do his "NSX Craze" weekender this fall, or the monthly Hill Country Drives events in/around Central Texas.

Damn str8, hombre! I'll be there w/ others. By sometime (late) Saturday, I'll post an update here regarding a meeting spot / time for those who want to head down together. Still waiting to hear back from others, as well as assess parking logistics if some of us come down en'masse. Might be better to just all rendezvous at the actual destination.
