A Fusion of Exotic Cars and Luxury Lifestyle

Beginning from an art gallery, a passionate automotive enthusiast and entrepreneur, Joe Sabatini, founded Festivals of Speed in 2004 with the goal of bringing together the world’s finest cars and luxury brands in a celebratory atmosphere. His love for high-end automobiles, combined with a vision to create an experience beyond a typical car show, led to the formation of an event that merges car culture with a luxurious, lifestyle-centric experience. Sabatini’s background in marketing and event planning, along with his lifelong fascination with exotic cars, enabled him to curate a space that would allow patrons to appreciate not just the beauty of automobiles, but also the luxury lifestyle that accompanies them.
