The first-ever Nissan Festival will take place on February 1

We like how manufacturers in the Philippines heavily interact with their owners and communities in the country. From the higher-ups meeting car clubs, sanctioned car meets, to full-on fan festivals that allow owners to drive their cars on the race tracks, to holding multi-day events centered around a one-make race, it is now Nissan Philippines’ turn to hold one of their own.

Taking place this February 1, 2026 (Sunday) at the Clark International Speedway, the Nissan Festival aims to show off the brand’s rich motorsport heritage, its diverse current product lineup, and the community of owners in the Philippines for one whole day, with the event starting at 10:00am.

Guests can take part in test drives, interactive displays, and also witness parade laps featuring various Nissan car clubs and heritage vehicles from the automaker’s past.

Surprises will also take place within the day, including guests like Nissan Philippines’ brand ambassador, Matteo Guidicelli, and Hiroshi Tamura, known as the “Father of the GT-R.” For those who don’t know what he has done, he’s been involved with the development of the R35 GT-R since the beginning, and has also helped with the new Nissan Z.

Guests will be able to meet him in person, participate in a Q&A session, and even get the chance to join him for a hot lap around Clark International Speedway, so this is an event that you don’t want to miss.
