Porsche’s Carson Anniversary Festival Opens October 18 With Free General Admission

Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles is scheduled to hold its public tenth-anniversary festival in Carson on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time. The organizer’s current event guide lists complimentary general admission for all ages, with no advance registration required.

Free entry is not a driving ticket

The program includes Porsche displays and Motorsport North America speaker sessions at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., on a first-come basis. Paid experiences are separate, and the guide says those tickets must be bought in advance, not on event day. Do not interpret the free-entry offer as complimentary track driving.

Getting there

The venue is at 19800 Main Street, Carson. General parking is off-site, with the entrance listed at 20100 South Figueroa Street and complimentary shuttles. Rideshare pickup and drop-off are on Main Street. The Porsche Corral is listed as sold out.

For a same-day visit, use the live guide above for any operational changes before leaving. Allow time for off-site parking and the transfer to the venue; arriving at the advertised street address is not necessarily the end of the journey.
