The 8th Annual Celebration Exotic Car Festival, benefitting children’s
charities, will be held April 7-10. This four-day world class event, hosted by
the Ferrari Club of America, will be bigger and better than ever, with new
activities and even more unique, exotic, and race cars – as well as famous and
movie and television cars to be displayed.

 

The event has been named as one of the 5 Best Exotic Car Shows in the World by Made Man magazine.
The festival is organized by a small team of dedicated volunteers of Celebration
and other local residents, and has established itself as one of the largest of its
kind in the country. Since its inception in 2004, more than $600,000 has been donated
to Make-a-Wish and Special Olympics Florida through the efforts of this event.
The weekend will start on Thursday, April 7 with the Sebring Track Days,
when many of the cars will be stretching their legs for two days at the historic
Sebring International Raceway, home of the annual 12 Hours of Sebring race.
The 3.7 mile, 17 turn circuit is one of the most challenging and technical in the
world, and over 100 exotic cars and race cars will be running at full speed. Each
afternoon will feature an FCRA vintage Ferrari Challenge Race, with owner/drivers
of Ferrari Challenge race cars competing for individual and team trophies.
The festivities continue with the Friday Fireworks dinner on Friday April 8.
Epcot's ʼ American Adventure Pavilion will host this exclusive dinner, followed by
dessert on a private terrace for premier viewing of the Epcot Illuminations
firework and laser light show.

The Concours of Exotic Cars will take place on Saturday, April 9, with 250
exotic cars, race cars and Hollywood movie cars lined up along Celebration’s
picturesque lakefront promenade. The world-class show was attended by over
30,000 spectators in 2010. Cars from Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Bugatti,
McLaren, Lotus, Saleen, Spyker, Pantera, Aston Martin, Bentley, DeLorean and
many others will be displayed. Admission is free for spectators.

Special features at this year’s event will include a showing of some of the most
famous television and motion picture cars in history, including the original
Lamborghini Countach driven by Adrienne Barbeau in the 1981 film “Cannonball
Run” and the Lamborghini Diablo from the Jim Carrey film “Dumb and Dumber.”
The Star Wars Land Speeder, a huge crowd pleaser in 2010, will return again
and be available for photo opportunities. Several other famous screen used
movie cars will also be displayed, including the Roll Royce from the Dudley
Moore film “Arthur,” the Plymouth Fury from the Stephan King film “Christine”, the
original Dukes of Hazzard “General Lee”, Knight Riderʼs KITT and Herbie the
Love Bug.

Saturday evening, April 9 will be the annual Jetport Food and Wine Party. A
private jet hangar at Signature Aviation at Kissimmee Airport will be converted
into a chic, South Beach inspired nightclub for one of the most incredible parties
of the year. Bocuse dʼOr USA Foundation (considered to be the elite international
society for chefs) and Les Chefs de France have assembled some of the worlds
most renowned chefs to prepare a world-class culinary extravaganza,
accompanied by unlimited champagne, fine wines and spirits.
Chefs Thomas Keller (The French Laundry, Napa and Per Se, NYC) and Daniel
Boulud (Daniel, NYC), considered to be two of the finest chefs in the world, will
be making a very rare appearance and will be preparing their most famous
dishes at the event. Chefs Keller and Boulud will be joined by more than 25 other
celebrity and local chefs, as well as numerous wineries and martini bars.

The evening will feature live entertainment, an exclusive fashion show, an air
show, performance artists, charity auctions, and much more. Over 100 exotic
cars, business jets, vintage aircraft and fighter jets will also be on display.
The Jetport Food & Wine Festival attracts guests from all over the country, and in
2010 was attended by numerous Hollywood and sports celebrities. Carl
Weathers (Apollo Creed, Rocky), Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin,
Happy Gilmore, Harry’s Law), Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker, Back to the Future) and X
Games Gold Medalist Ryan Sheckler have already confirmed their participation
in this year’s event.
