2025 Werks Reunion Amelia Island

2025 Werks 7Story & Photos Submitted by Rich Tillotson

A Great Time for Porsches and Owners...

March 7th, 2025 was my ninth year attending Werks, as the first event was in 2017 and each year it gets better and better.

2025 Werks 8

I have been a judge, a corral participant and also a display area exhibitor each time there was fun to be had, especially due to the laid back approach to the event and the car judging not as intense as a Parade Concourse as the owners story of his/her car is as important as the car’s condition.

 The Porsche model participation is second to none, the number of Porsches rival any other club event in both volume of cars and quality of each model represented and it is held here in Florida. There is a sister event on the west coast of the country but that might be a bit too long of a road trip for most of us. The Werks event on Friday is one of the many events held at Amelia Island starting on Wednesday and runs through to Sunday when the “big” show, the Amelia Island Concourse d’ Elegance, is held for the best of the best examples of multiple marques.

 There are great restaurants in the area, my personal favorites are in downtown Fernandina Beach as there are some outdoor dining options which allow you to watch not only the people but the cars as they cruise up and down the central street. 

 Now the only downside is that the weather is not one of the factors that Werks can control, last year was the first full rain day I can remember at the event but like true enthusiasm I believe the organizers noted that a very few Porsches did not attend due to the wet weather.

 We still had fun and it made for some interesting umbrella pictures, soggy clothes and lawn chairs but guess what? They all dried off but the smiles remained.

 I invite all Gulfstream members to consider a day trip or longer visit to the area this year or in the future during this event week, walk-in attendance is free, parking in corral and displaying on judged field do have a registration fee.

 So if you want to have some fun, see new and old friends, view Porsches in all models and colors, and go home with smiles and memories, Werks is highly recommended!
