The Celebration Exotic Car Festival is North America’s largest collection of exotic cars, race cars and iconic Hollywood movie cars, coming together to help children with life threatening medical conditions.  Since its inception in 2004, the Celebration Exotic Car Festival has donated over $5 million to children’s charities including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, Moffitt Cancer Center and more.  Over the years, the 5-day festival has grown to become one of the largest exotic car events in the world, attracting more than 300 of the world’s rarest exotic cars and more than 40,000 spectators.  In the past 20 years, hundreds of children in need have been helped directly through the efforts of this event.  

 
This year the festival kicks off with rock legend REO Speedwagon and an incredible concert and exclusive rooftop party at Hard Rock Orlando.  Our main event, the Concours of Exotic Cars is held on Saturday at the boardwalks of beautiful Celebration, Florida.  On Saturday evening, at the heart of the festival, is our ZD Wine Pairing Dinner and Fundraising Auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando.  We are excited to welcome Comedy Central’s Carlos Mencia as our entertainment for the evening.  The festival continues on Sunday, with our popular Exotic Car rally through the streets of Central Florida.  On Monday and Tuesday, guests have the opportunity to drive their own exotic car at the famed Daytona International Speedway where we hold two Track Days.  The festival ends with a Roof-top Dinner Party at the Daytona One hotel.

As always, 100% of the proceeds of the event are given directly to our partner charities.  In 2023 the CECF Wish Foundation raised over $650,000!  Please help us reach our goal of $675,000 this year.
