PLANNING FOR THE 2025 CADILLAC BIG MEET HAS STARTED.
Planning for the 2025 Cadillac BIG Meet is officially underway, and we’re thrilled to share that big changes are coming to make this gathering of Cadillac enthusiasts even more enjoyable!
What’s new? For the first time, the event will kick off on Thursday with a welcome day, followed by a Driving Tour on Friday, giving participants more opportunities to connect and show off their cars. The main Cadillac Meet will take place on Saturday, with activities continuing late into the evening, and we’ll wrap things up on Sunday with a laid-back Cars and Coffee event. This schedule gives everyone plenty of time to either enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon or head home at their own pace or even join the 2 day Driving Tour heading to the Cadillac Grand European Club Meeting in Munich.
As for the venue, we have some updates. Kremsegg Castle, where the event has been held for years, is unfortunately up for sale, so there’s uncertainty about whether we can use it in 2025. However, we have a fantastic alternative! The event will likely return to the Hofwiese Park in Kremsmünster, a beautiful location we successfully used in 2016.
Stay tuned for more details as they become available! In the meantime, check out our early promo clip for the 2025 event below:

CADILLAC BIG MEET 2018 - A GREAT EVENT
The theme this year was the "1967 - 1970 Eldorados" which we featured in a special exhibition at the venue.
Weather forecast for the weekend was catastrophic after one of the driest summers we ever had. This caused some cancellations of participants and we were pretty nervous that many more would cancel their attendance. On friday evening quite a few super nice cars had already arrived at the hotel.

The Driving Tour
At the Driving Tour on saturday August 25th 45 Cadillacs attended. We drove from Kremsmünster to Feldkirchen where we had lunch at a very nice restaurant at the shores of a small lake.

Super nice 1953 Eldorado at the driving tour.
We then continued our tour to Linz where the cars were displayed underneath an art museum where the cars drew a lot of attention.

On the way back to Kremsmünster it started to rain heavily and it did not stop until sunday noon.
The Meeting on Sunday
Due to the bad weather we had far less Cadillacs in attendance this year. Lot of regular visitors stayed home as well.There was still a great mood at the meeting with lots of spectacular Cadillacs attending.
Check out our vast image galleries of the Driving Tour and the Meeting on the Cadillac BIG Meet website to see some fantastic cars you wont see anywhere else.
We had a great time there and enjoyed meeting all these great Cadillac aficionados and admire their fantastic cars.
See you again August 22nd - 23rd 2020!
