Ferragosto! Is How We Start the Summer.
Ferragosto! is a free celebration of Italian automotive culture at Motor District in Westfield on June 13. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and more, with live music, private garage tours, and an optional lunch from Adam Hoffman and the Big Hoffa's Smokehouse team. Registration is free and takes about a minute.
The Only Thing Waiting Are The Roads.
SHIFT is a curated road rally and poker run through Southern Indiana's best roads, organized by Thusia. May 2 begins at Silo Auto Club in Indianapolis with Mike Simmons and the team, includes a stop at The Club at Putnam Park, and features lunch from Cole McCardel and the Motoring Wealth team.
The Team Is Great. But, It's Missing You.
Artomobilia runs on volunteers. They show up early, stay late, and set the tone for everything in between. In 2026 we're giving back with quarterly volunteer gatherings, and if you're a student needing community service hours, we have opportunities worth having. The team is great. It's missing you.
Motor District Has a Full Calendar. You Should Too.
Motor District's 2026 calendar is worth clearing your schedule for. Italian cars in June, American icons in July on America's 250th birthday, a German gathering in October, and the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge in August. Plus Pints+Porsches and Spring Fling. Jay Farmer and the team are building something worth attending.
The Season Opens on the Road
Some events you attend. SHIFT is one you seize. May 2, a small group of enthusiasts takes to the finest curated roads in southern Indiana for a day worth having. Great roads, great company, and lunch from Big Hoffa's. REV at IMS the same day? Do both.
Five Cards. Two Hundred Miles.
There is a moment on a good road when the car stops being something you're driving and starts being something you're feeling. Southern Indiana has roads like that. May 2, we go find them. A Poker Run, a Big Hoffa's lunch, and the right company. Spots are limited.
The Class Worth Watching
Most of us had a car like it. The one we could afford. The one with high miles and a repair manual we consulted too often. The one that started everything. The 25 Under 25 class at Artomobilia celebrates that car and the young owners still driving one. Registration is open.
Benvenuti. The Italians Are Coming to Westfield.
Ferragosto! returns to Motor District in Westfield on June 13, noon to 2pm. Free to attend, free to show, and built around some of the most beautiful Italian cars in the region. Lunch from Big Hoffa's Smokehouse is $35 and worth every penny. Space for lunch is limited.
Motor District Is Back. Four Events. One Host.
Jay Farmer and his team return as Hosting Sponsor for Motor District's full 2026 event season, covering Ferragosto!, All-Americana, the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, and Zusammen. Four events, four communities, and a sustained investment in the people and culture that make Hamilton County's automotive scene worth celebrating.
Lunch at the Rally: Welcoming Motoring Wealth
Cole McCardel and the Motoring Wealth team of Raymond James join SHIFT as Lunch Sponsor for the May 2 road rally. A financial practice built specifically around collectors, enthusiasts, and motorsport, Motoring Wealth brings genuine alignment to the partnership and a welcome presence at the midday table.
The Road is the Event
SHIFT is a road rally built around motion, not parking. On May 2, a small, curated group of drivers sets out from Silo Auto Club in Indianapolis for a day of intentional driving through some of Indiana's best roads, with meaningful stops and even better company along the way.
Summer Has to Start Somewhere
Ferragosto is where the warm-weather season begins for the Hamilton County automotive community. On June 13, Motor District in Westfield hosts a relaxed afternoon of beautiful cars, garage tours, live music, and exceptional food from Big Hoffa's Smokehouse. Italian spirit, Indiana setting, and the right crowd to kick off summer.
SHIFT | Cards, Curves & Company
On May 2, we launch the 2026 Artomobilia season with the SHIFT Road Rally, a full day built around some of the finest driving roads southern Indiana has to offer. The route is curated, not improvised. These are the roads that reward a willing driver and remind you why you bought the car in the first place.
