Since its debut in 2021, Icons of Porsche has swiftly grown into the largest car festival of its kind in the Middle East, and one of the most talked-about Porsche gatherings globally. To be fair, it’s not just a car show. It’s a celebration of design, art, culture, and the sheer thrill of the German marque.
Last year, over 28,000 fans packed the festival precinct, proving that Dubaiites and international visitors alike can’t get enough of these automotive icons. And truth be told, this year promises to raise the bar even higher. From the earliest Porsche models to the very latest releases, plus a curated selection of road and race machines spanning the past seven decades, the festival is a nostalgic joyride for seasoned collectors and casual fans alike.
The Perfect Dubai Backdrop
Come on, we all know that Porsche deserves a stunning stage, and Dubai delivers. The city’s downtown skyline will once again form the backdrop, turning every car into a moving piece of art against gleaming towers and golden desert light. The Dubai Design District has been the festival’s home since day one, and each year, the event precinct has grown, adding more cars, attractions, and fan-friendly facilities.
Art, Music, and Culinary Delights
But it’s not just about four wheels. Icons of Porsche is as much about lifestyle as it is about engineering brilliance. Regional musicians, artists, and restaurants will join forces to create a festival atmosphere that’s part car show, part cultural celebration. Think live performances, interactive art installations, and gourmet bites, all curated to complement the automotive spectacle.
A full line-up of activities, displays, and guest appearances will be announced closer to the event, but enthusiasts can already expect plenty of surprises, creativity, and colourful spectacles to explore.
