Upcoming Events
5/25/2026 - Memorial Day Car Show
Diablo's Memorial Day Charity Car Show, sponsored by Porsche Livermore and Porsche Fremont, at the picturesque Livery in Danville with its beautiful trees and serene atmosphere, brings together club members, friends, and the public to celebrate Porsches and honor the brave US military personnel who have sacrificed their lives in service to the nation. This extraordinary event is not just about showcasing magnificent cars; it is a heartfelt tribute to those who have served and a celebration of community spirit.
Registered cars will arrive at 9:00 am for placement. The Show is from 10:00 to 2:00 pm.
Lunch will be served at two restaurants: our traditional Luna Loca and the new Canyon Club Brewery. To help the restaurants manage the demand, meals will be served in three groups of 50 starting at 11:30 and again at 12:15 and 1:00. Additionally, Luna Loca will offer a “Take-out” option. Attendees will register on a first-come basis. The lunch ticket included in the registration packet has a $25 value and can be applied to meals and drinks of the participant's choice.
One of the event's highlights is the Operation Freedom Paws booth, where attendees can meet charity staff and learn about the programs that save lives through human-canine service dog partnerships. In addition to visiting the charity booth, participants can join the charity raffle, which offers exciting prizes from dealerships, wineries, and other service and product providers.
Costs: $20 per person during early registration for Diablo Region members, up to 110 tickets. $40 per person during regular registration. The cost includes a $25 lunch voucher at Luna Loca or Canyon Club Brewery.

4/15/2026 (Wednesday) - Dine with Diablo - TODAY!
What: Dinner at Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria
Where: 780 Camino Ramon, Unit 130, Danville
When: Wednesday, 4/15/26 at 6:00 PM
From Amici’s website: “Our pizza is inspired by the traditional Italian brick ovens of New England. The 700 degree temperatures of our stone ovens produce thin crusts that are crisp, airy, and slightly chewy… a taste of perfection.”
We went to Amici’s last year and they will issue separate checks for us again. Please click here for more details and to register for this event.

4/17-19/2026 - CRAB-39
Continuing a tradition first hosted in 1972, hosted by the Sacramento Valley Region of PCA, CRAB provides a venue to socialize with like-minded fans of the Porsche brand. A wonderful way for long time members and newer members to have fun and socialize during one weekend, at one location, hosting a variety of driving and non-driving events. What does "CRAB" stand for? The "C" stands for crab feed, the "R" stands for rally, the "A" stands for autocross, and the "B" stands for the German word "begenen" which means a gathering or meeting. This year's event will be hosted at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino just north of Sacramento. Registration is open for this event. Click here for additional information about this event.
