Our first event of 2026, the Stuttgarten Social offers two nights with a Porsche garden social theme scheduled intentionally to coincide and not conflict with the Porsche Club of America’s Swap Meet – the largest Porsche-only swap meet in the USA. A full weekend schedule can be found below.
Following on our original Legends on the Lawn formula – a curated mix of automobiles selected around a predetermined theme – cars will be parked spaced generously on the rolling lawns around Englewood Hershey. Grab a drink and a bite to eat at The Farmhouse or step into the tavern (Friday May 1 only) for more food and beverage options. Feel free to wander the lawn and take in this mix of incredible cars selected for display or dive deeper and check out even more Porsches and other automobiles in special parking nearby.
For Porsche Enthusiasts and Porsche Club of America Members
If you’re coming into town for the Central PA PCA Porsche-Only Swap Meet & Show in Carlisle then Hershey probably needs no introduction. For many years, Hersheypark played home to the Swap Meet. With the Stuttgarten Social, Legends on the Lawn aims to reestablish Hershey as a worthy stop in order to add value to your Swap Meet weekend.
Like Monterey Car Week, The Amelia and the other great event weekends, Legends on the Lawn aims to make the Stuttgarten Social not just a right of spring, but a worthy addition to your Porsche-theme weekend.
Join us Friday night as a kick-off to the Swap Meet or Saturday night as an after party. Also, consider staying in one of our nearby luxury hotels including the all-new Hershey Inn and Suites located just steps away from Englewood Hershey and enjoying its inaugural opening weekend at the same time as our event.
For Casual Enthusiasts, the Porsche Curious or Simply People Seeking a Fun Evening Activity
Just like the weekly Hershey Car Meetup held at Englewood Hershey every Sunday morning, Legends on the Lawn is a casual event series. Whether you’re a Porsche owner, simply curious about cars or looking for fun evening out under the stars, all are welcome to come and enjoy the gathering.
Meet Our Local Porsche-Focused Businesses
Meet other local car enthusiasts and companies supporting Porsche owners in the area. This event is sponsored by Porsche Mechanicsburg, Monteith Restorations and more who will be on site to help you learn more about the Porsche brand and its incredible cars.
Want to Display your Porsche? Not sure where to park?
If you’d like our organizational team to consider your car for display, please email info@hersheycarweek.com. It is our intention to show a diverse mix of cars, from exotics and race cars to classics and even the more common daily drivers.
Please understand that space on the lawn is limited. If you aren’t chosen for the lawn, there will be additional special parking for Porsche automobiles and other much-loved cars in designated lots around the property.
The map above (subject to change) gives a basic idea of where key points are situated on the property. It also gives key details for use of the various lots around the property.
Friday Parking Lot Use: With the concert on Friday, parking in the South Lot has been designated for car event attendees with an area saved for Porsches. Parking is available in the Farmhouse Lot and Main Lot but those lots will also be in use by concert-goers who may be less car careful parking around you. While you may use them, they are not designated for this event. The West Lot by the U Gro Daycare is also available after 6PM.
Saturday Parking Lot Use: All lots are open with designated Porsche parking in the Main Lot by the barn. Regular farmhouse patronage will also use these lots and tend to park in the Farmhouse Lot. The West Lot by the U Gro Daycare is also available after 6PM.
What’s the Best Way to Get from Carlisle to Hershey
Of course you can just plug it into navigation and that will get you there in a relatively quick 45 minutes or so. However, if you’ve got the time and would prefer a more scenic route, Hershey Car Meetup regular Adam Bond has curated three more interesting routes for your enjoyment.
Northern Route Long: LINK, estimated at 2h 26m
Northern Route Short: LINK, estimated 1h 24m
Southern Route Long: LINK, estimated at 2h 16m
