Every Labor Day weekend, Lime Rock Park comes alive with the Historic Festival, a long weekend that turns Connecticut’s Berkshire foothills into a rolling museum of speed. Fans line the hillsides to watch vintage race groups tackle the fast, flowing circuit, from pre-war machines to classic IMSA and Formula Ford. The paddock buzzes with open garages, period livery, and friendly conversations with owners and drivers.

Festivities stretch beyond the track. The Friday parade winds through local towns to Falls Village for a street celebration, while Sunday in the Park transforms the Sam Posey Straight into a concours with the Gathering of the Marques circling the course. It is equal parts competition, craftsmanship, and community, with picnic-ready viewing and unforgettable photo ops.
