Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles will celebrate its 10th anniversary on October 18, 2026, with a day-long gathering combining cars, driving experiences, food, music and behind-the-scenes access at Porsche’s Southern California destination.
Called “A Decade of Drive: 10 Laps Around the Sun,” the anniversary celebration will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be open to Porsche customers, enthusiasts and the wider community. General admission is complimentary, while additional paid experience packages will be available through advance booking or on site, subject to availability.
The program will include demonstration laps, experiences in PECLA’s Simulator Lab, curated vehicle displays, guest speakers and food and beverage offerings. Visitors will also have access to the Porsche Motorsport North America Workshop, providing an opportunity to see a part of the facility normally associated with Porsche’s North American racing operations.
Opened in 2016, Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles was conceived as a place where visitors could experience Porsche beyond a traditional dealership or automotive event. Its driving facilities allow guests to get behind the wheel through a range of programs, while the complex also hosts vehicle deliveries, dining and special events.
Its location near Los Angeles International Airport places the facility within one of Porsche’s most important enthusiast markets. PECLA is also home to Porsche Motorsport North America, adding a direct motorsport connection to a venue that has become a regular gathering point for Southern California’s Porsche community.
“California has long been home to an incredibly passionate community of Porsche enthusiasts,” said Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “Over the past decade, Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles has united driving enthusiasts and created memorable experiences for guests from around the world.”
The October celebration offers visitors an unusually broad look at the facility, combining the driving activities for which PECLA is best known with displays, simulators and access to its motorsport operations.
For travelers interested in cars, PECLA is also a relatively easy addition to a Los Angeles itinerary. Its proximity to LAX makes it particularly accessible for visitors arriving in or departing Southern California, while its driving programs offer an experience that can be booked independently of the anniversary event.
