We have one of the biggest gatherings in the local car scene happening next month. Nissan Philippines has just sent an invite to the first-ever Nissan Festival happening on February 1, 2026 at the Clark International Speedway. Mark your calendars, folks.

We already got wind of this story before, but it’s only now that Nissan has sent the official invite.

Nissan Festival 2026 official invite

The invite reads: “The Nissan Festival brings together the brand’s rich motorsport heritage, diverse product lineup, and the strong community for a full day at the track, highlighted by Nissan’s iconic nameplates that reflect the brand’s DNA of innovation and driving excitement, alongside newer models that showcase the future of Nissan performance.”

There will be test drives and interactive displays, and for the car nuts out there, a parade lap featuring Nissan car clubs and heritage vehicles. We’re expecting to see some classic GT-Rs, Zs, Silvias, and the like. Exciting stuff.

More exciting, however, is that the ‘Father of the GT-R’ himself, Hiroshi Tamura, will be gracing the event. In case you didn’t know, Tamura-san has been involved in building the R35 generation GT-R since its concept phase. He will be joining a Q&A session, and some lucky guests can also get the chance to join Tamura in a hot lap on track.

We don’t know what the event will look like come February 1, but we already have a good sense of what we’re going to get: Car culture goodness. The Nissan Festival is open to the public, and gates open at 10am. We’ll see you all there.
