Plovdiv becomes the epicenter of car culture: Gonco Fest 2026 arrives on May 9 and 10

On May 9 and 10, 2026, the Plovdiv International Fair will transform into something
much more than an exhibition space — in a scene where speed, style and
urban culture will meet in one large-scale experience.
Gonco Fest 2026 comes with a clear mission: to become the most significant automotive
event in the Balkans and to put Bulgaria on the map of leading auto-cultural
festivals in Europe.
With over 54,000 sq m of area, 12 thematic zones and expected tens of thousands of visitors from
country and abroad, the event brings together automotive passion, music,
art and modern lifestyle.
Gonco Fest is not a one-time event — it's a living platform that's growing
year-round, builds community and whose festival is the culmination. The organizers
share: "This is just the beginning.".
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BULGARIA: DRIFT KINGS INTERNATIONAL SERIES
One of the strongest and most historic highlights of the program is that Gonco Fest 2026
will host an official round of the Drift Kings International Series — the longest-running European drift championship, which is entering the
Bulgaria.
Professional pilots from all over Europe will face each other at
a specially built track, grandstands and a large spectator area.
The program includes piese auto online.
