Japfest 2026 Returns to Poznań with Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya, while Classica Mierzęcin Classic Car Fair Opens in June

The Japfest 2026 automotive festival will be held at the Tor Poznań circuit from July 24‑26, featuring more than 1,000 Japanese‑inspired cars from twenty European countries. The event highlights legendary drifter Keiichi Tsuchiya, known as the “Drift King,” along with a lineup of sport‑track attacks, drift battles, drag races and a cultural expo showcasing Japanese food, fashion and art.

Separate from Japfest, the Classica Mierzęcin classic‑car rally is scheduled for June 13‑14 at the historic Mierzęcin Palace in western Poland. Organized in partnership with the Giełda Klasyków, the gathering will display vintage and young‑timer automobiles, include presentations, a FIVA Elegance competition and entertainment such as a Dixieland band and a vintage carousel. Both events aim to attract enthusiasts of motor heritage and Japanese car culture across the region.
