The next 50 years of the PCA will begin with Porsche Night -- sponsored by Porsche Cars North America and Porsche AG.  This kick off party will welcome you to Parade Portland in tremendous style.  We will begin this fun event outside along the scenic Columbia River and the pool area and then move into the Grand Ballroom for a delicious buffet dinner featuring foods grown, raised, or caught in the region, prepared in a modern Northwest style along with scrumptious "mini deserts".  Then stick around for some words of welcome and then several hours of dancing to one of Portland's top bands - 'DESIGN'.  This evening will be a fun time for all and an opportunity to renew those wonderful Parade friendships!

Although the most ‘elegant’ of banquets, you do not need to bring your tuxedos and evening gowns to Portland!  Sport coats and sundresses will suffice for the Concours Banquet. We will start the meal with a Wild Field Green Salad with Mt. Hood Huckleberry Vinaigrette dressing.  The main course will be Filet Mignon Medallions, served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Dessert is Cheesecake, alternated with Triple Fudge Cake.

The evening will feature a stirring presentation by world renowned Porsche race driver Vic Elford.
