Miatapalooza 2017 OFFICIAL Event Thread

[— Phatmiata —]

The Villages Fl Miata/MX5 Club is planning on participating in this event ( 20+ vehicles.)

We have several questions...

Will there be food vendors ? Any problem with folks bringing in snacks ( realize it's no alcohol allowed!)

Yes there will be on-site food and drink vendors, bring cash though not sure if they take credit/debit

Yes you can bring snacks but no BBQ grills and no alcohol or the like as its private property

Will it be possible for our caravan of cars to park together ( in close proximity ) once we get there?

If you all arrive as a caravan you will be parking as a caravan, no worries there at all.

Will vendors / exhibitors actually have products/ accessories for sale?

Yes bring cash as a lot of the vendors had exclusive show only prices last time!!

And yes a lot of Miata specific vendors will be setting up tent booths to showcase and sell their parts, and some onsite installs might be happening or at least some workshops showing how to install and tune.

Check this thread for updates from the vendors on who's attending and what's happening.

Any guesstimate as to the total number of miatas participating/ largest number of miatas from a single Club ( based on last Miatapalooza?)
.

Hard to say but at the last event we had a sign in sheet for clubs, we got about 200 from the Tampa clubs, 200 from central Florida areas, 100 from north Florida areas, and 100 from south Florida areas. Also had people drive from Georgia, The Carolinas and even 2 guys that flew in from Spain to attend. It was about 430 counted miatas and we stopped counting after that and they still kept showing up.

If I still have the NB, I will hopefully make an appearance. Who am I kidding? Even without it, I may still go.

Yes but disguising it with MX-5 badges.
