SEMA Fest is a new two-day festival celebrating motorsports, music and car culture. It is organized by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), and it is coming to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on Nov. 3-4.
SEMA Fest attendees will enjoy 22 musical acts, a variety of unforgettable motorsports entertainment, including demonstrations from Formula DRIFT, Hoonigan, and Nitro Circus.
The show is about preserving and promoting car culture, and instilling that passion for cars in younger, more entertainment-oriented generations. The event will build new audiences that are passionate about the automotive lifestyle.
The festival is the meeting point in natural evolution of the passion for all things automotive exemplified at the SEMA Show.
The show evolved in 2014 with SEMA Ignited, the official Friday night after-party for the SEMA Show.
Now, it’s evolving again with this new festival format that celebrates the relationship between motorsports, music, and car culture. Almost everyone would love to attend.
