Looking back, the first Parade Gimmick Rally was held 17 years ago at the 50th Porsche Parade in Hershey, PA. It was a new Parade event inspired by the success of the fun, low-key gimmick rallies held across PCA on the region level. That first route traveled through the Lancaster Amish countryside with multiple-choice questions to answer. From 2006 to 2009, local regions hosted the Gimmick Rallies with a variety of styles, themes, and scenic countryside, from coastal San Diego to the rarefied air of Colorado. The Gimmick Rallies are designed to highlight the local history, unique attractions, scenic drives, and overall flavor of each Parade location, including suggested stops along the way for something that you might not otherwise see or experience anywhere else. The "gimmicks" have generally been developed by something unique about the route, and its possibilities that inspire the rally master...and that changes every year.
2021’s “Porsche at the Movies” rally was the first ever evening event, with a backroads of Indiana drive, a series of questions about movies featuring Porsches, and ending at the Holiday Drive-In Theater for an outdoor screening of LeMans 1971, starring Steve McQueen, the ‘King of Cool’.
