T
he “Festivals of Speed” was founded by Joe Sabatini in 2004 and has a deep history of hosting luxury events. Historically, typical Festivals of Speed events feature some of the world’s finest luxury lifestyle products, services, and cars. The Festivals of Speed group stages shows in several locations across Florida and Georgia including Orlando, St Petersburg, Ocala and Atlanta. Although these shows are billed as luxury style motorsports events, you can expect to find official race cars, muscle cars, classics or unique motorcycles along with the supercars, exotics and vintage pre-war, and post-war collectibles. The 17th annual St Petersburg show took place in beautiful Vinoy Park across from the historic Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club. The newly remodeled St. Pete Pier extends out into Tampa Bay providing an amazing backdrop for the show as well as a magnificent view of the bay and a vibrant downtown. An excellent selection of restaurants was within walking distance for anyone who was hungry.
