Euro Auto Festival @ SC BMW plant this weekend (Oct 14/15/16).Spartanburg/Greenville
The 16th annual Euro Auto Festival is this weekend @ the BMW plant in Greer (Spartanburg/Greenville Upstate, SC area). The local news says they're expecting 5000-8000 visitors and up to 400 vehicles in the show so it's a good size event. I always drive past it each year and its always seems like a nice crowd surrounding the BMW Zentrum.
It's a 3 day deal but I'm going to try to make it Saturday to see the show for a couple hours. If anyone from here is going, hit me up. I've checked out pics from previous years and there's usually some impressive rides to look at from many makes: http://euroautofestival.com/Past_Eve...st_events.html

The new host hotel will be Greenville's Embassy Suites and Golf Resort, offering great rooms, attractive rates and a beautiful setting. Exciting new programs are being added such as technical sessions, wine & history tours and even a spouses program.
