2026 British Motoring Festival – The 2025 British Motoring Festival will be held once again in Covington, LA at the Covington Trailhead on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
The Covington Final Friday Block Party will be held Friday, March 27, 2026.
Our 2025 Festival had 98 cars and one motorcycle despite the 85+% chance of rain forecasted. We had 141 pre-registered vehicles, but many chose not to take a chance on the weather. It turned out that we did not have a drop of rain all day! We hope to make the 2026 event bigger and better. Please watch this page for updates.
Our 2024 Festival was filled with over 160 cars and motorcycles and crowds of spectators. It was better than any of us had wished for, and even the weather cooperated that year.
The Host Hotel for our car festival is the Holiday Inn Covington. It is just off Highway 190 a few blocks north of I-12. It is 3.6 miles from the Covington Trailhead. The standard room, which includes breakfast, is $149.00 per night for Friday, 27 March 2026 and Saturday, 28 March 2026. The hotel has an excellent bar and gathering area and is near Copeland’s restaurant as well as several others. They are ready to book rooms today.
