Here’s summer 2026 BaT Events—Mark Your Calendars!

BaT events continue to be the highlights of our year! Since our first Alumni Gathering in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2018, our events have grown in both variety and scale. To date, we’ve hosted more than 50 Alumni Gatherings and Meet-Ups, along with many appearances at concours, races, and other enthusiast events around the world. It’s always great to meet the folks behind the usernames and ogle at the broad swath of impressive machinery that tends to show up to these gatherings. Our 2026 event season has been busier than ever, and we’re cooking up even more opportunities to bring the BaT community together. We’re pleased to announce the next three events of 2026:

• We’ll be sponsoring the 70th anniversary of the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance in Burlingame, California. Over the decades, the Concours has brought a plethora of vintage iron together, making it “the longest continually running Concours in the world” according to the organizers. If you’re attending, visit our big-top on the fairway of the Crystal Springs Golf Course, where we’ll feature a trio of enthusiast cars and hand out free giveaways. It’s happening on Sunday, June 28, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and additional details can be found here. Grab your tickets now! BaT users can get $10 off their Sunday tickets by entering code BAT26 at checkout—available for the first 200 tickets sold. We hope to see you there!
• We’re coming to the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway on July 11 for a BaT gathering with Local Partner @911r of the Avant-Garde Collection in Portland, Oregon. We’ll have a large area for enthusiasts to display their interesting vehicles, and BaT staff will be on hand with giveaways and plenty of good company. Please note that you’ll have to register to display your vehicle.
• Join us a week later for the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend festivities in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. BaT is the Title Sponsor for this year’s Race Car Parade on Friday, July 17 and the Road America Concours d’Elegance on Saturday, July 18. Both events run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, and you can visit our tent to enjoy giveaways, great camaraderie, and a compelling array of special cars. We’ll also have a large tent at Turn 5 at Road America throughout the weekend.

Additional details for the upcoming appearances and a registration link for the July 11 BaT gathering will be published as each gets closer—so watch for upcoming announcements on the home page, keep an eye on the BaT Event Calendar, and subscribe to our Event Coverage and Promotional categories to be notified when registration opens.

These aren’t the only events in the works, and we’ll update everyone with additional locations and dates as more plans are confirmed. In the meantime, special thanks to the small team of stalwart BaT staffers responsible for planning, coordinating, and ensuring that every event runs like clockwork.

Check out what else we’ve gotten up to this season:

We hit the ground running in 2026, and we’ve been busily hosting a variety of Meet-Ups with Local Partners from coast to coast. At our Palm Springs event with Compass Racing, we enjoyed cars of all shapes and sizes among the fauna and flora of the future home of Desert Dunes Preserve. We followed it up a month later with our second Meet-Up of 2026 at ALARA Garage in Houston, Texas, where a variety of cars, trucks, and even armor kept us on our toes.

Our Co-Founder and President Randy Nonnenberg, along with a small contingent of BaT staffers, joined our newest Local Partner in the UK, @Sports_Purpose, for April’s Bicester Scramble. We were delighted to meet existing users, shake hands with new petrolheads, and gawk at the endless array of cars us Yanks never got on this side of the Atlantic.

We caught Florida’s blazing sun and blue skies, as well as an endless parade of enthusiasts, cars, and, of course, boats at our season’s third Meet-Up, hosted by Bullet Motorsports. And on the tail of our Florida Meet-Up, we brought our traveling carnival out to the Mid-Atlantic for our first-ever Delaware Meet-Up with McQueen Classics, where our community showed up in true East Coast fashion—from 4x4s to muscle cars, and more.
