Thinking of Porsche Parade activities at Lake Placid? We cover Phase II Registration
About this episode
PCA Insider breaks down Phase II registration for the 70th Porsche Parade in Lake Placid, opening April 15 at noon ET. With 2,600+ attendees expected, the crew focuses on how to secure limited-capacity tours, dinners, and competitive spots using the new registration system. They preview concours, TSD rally, autocross (with required volunteering), and a Porsche knowledge quiz, plus “unofficial” events like the Hans Peter Porsche art show, gimmick rally (including Whiteface Mountain), RC racing, golf, a 5k, and PCA sim racing. Non-competitive highlights include Cars and Community, the Parade of Porches, multiple themed banquets on the Olympic ice rink, and a redesigned vendor village. The news segment covers the 2026 Cayenne EV drive impressions and Porsche’s continued ICE Cayenne plans, plus upcoming PCA trips.
In this episode we have Porsche Parade Chair Jack Stephensen calling in to talk about the next step in Parade registration. Phase II Activities Registration opens April 15, and it's when you'll pick out and pay for the things you do throughout the week at Porsche Parade. This includes competitive events like concours d'elegance, TSD rallies, and autocross; driving tours; social events including dinners, banquets, privates tours; and so much more. You'll want to know which activities you and your group want to do before registration opens, particularly if the activities are limited by capacity. Tune in for a brief overview of all the things to do as well as Phase II registration tips.
