Boxstoberfest 2026
September 11-13 in Kerrville TX
Boxstoberfest is an annual Multi-Region PCA event held in Kerrville, Texas, specifically for Porsche enthusiasts. It started as a celebration of the Porsche Boxster and have evolved into an event for all Porsches, hence the name "Boxstoberfest." The event takes place on the second weekend of September and attracts Porsche enthusiasts from all over the country.
Boxstoberfest features various activities and attractions for attendees. These include scenic drives through the Texas Hill Country, a Gimmick Rally, guided Hill Country Tours, a Winery Tour, and social gatherings. Participants can showcase their Porsche vehicles, meet fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy the beauty of the Kerrville area.
The event provides an opportunity for Porsche owners to connect with like-minded individuals, learn more about their vehicles, and experience the camaraderie of the Porsche community. It is a must-attend event for all Porsche enthusiasts!
Registration for Boxstoberfest 2026 opens on July 5 at 8:00 a.m. CDT via ClubRegistration.net.
Your safety and enjoyment of the event are of prime importance to the organizers. Speaking of safety, the following needs to be completely understood by all participants - Boxstoberfest is not a race, nor a venue to drive as fast as you want and endanger other participants, your passengers, nor the public. We enjoy spirited drives on public roads and have a very good time doing so. If your intent is for an all-out ride pressing the envelope of your vehicle, this is not the venue for it. There are multiple events within all the regions to do this in a safe and controlled manner. Rule 1: NO PASSING other participants. Violation of this rule will result in a permanent ban. Past attendees can attest to the excitement of all the twisties and challenge of our routes.
Here are some key details for this year’s event:
1. This is the 30th Anniversary of Boxstoberfest. We are excited to spend the weekend with fellow Porsche enthusiasts enjoying memorable drives, great food, and the camaraderie that has made Boxstoberfest a favorite tradition for so many years.
2. We are moving the event to Kerrville TX and the Inn of the Hills Hotel. We simply outgrew our previous location and this puts us closer to the roads we love. Breakfast is included with your hotel stay, and registration/check-in for the event will take place in the hotel lobby.
3. Inn of the Hills has reserved 140 rooms for us so there should be room for all participants to stay at the same hotel. You will be given a code to make a reservation when you have registered, paid and are confirmed by the registrar.
4. The Wine tour on Friday will include more of a drive than usual which will end at a Fredericksburg winery.
5. We have made commemorative car badges to celebrate the 30 years of Boxstoberfest that you can mount on most models of Porsches
