The Festival is on
The Saab Festival kicks off with a variety of activities already on Thursday. A good starting point för the Festival is the Saab Car Museum, the hub around which most of the Festival revolves. And of course the Saab Car Museum will be open all week. And most possibly there will be one or two surprises for the visitors in the exhibition. You find the day-to day progrmme by clicking on "Programme" to the left.
The Midnight Sun Rally
During Thursday and Friday the Midnight Sun Rally passes thru Trollhättan. The cars will come to Trollhättan on Thursday afternoon for an overnight stop. Park Fermé will be at the Saab Car Museum. If you want to see and hear more than 20 Saabs together will 150 other historic cars in full action this is something you just don't want to miss. (The Midnight Sun Rally was originally arranged between 1950 and 1964. The rally was re-established in 2006 as a historical rally, and participating cars must not be newer than 1981. Find out more about the rally thru their website via the link below.
Local event for the whole family
The Saab Festival 2010 is coinciding with the city of Trollhättans biggest annual event - "Fallens Dagar" (The Waterfall Days) - It's one of the biggest tourist attractions of the whole summer season (except the Saab Festival of course=) with lots and lots of activities, artists and of course, water in the impressive water falls that Trollhättan is so famous for. See more about "Fallens Dagar" via the link below.
Guided tours and seminars at ANA Trollhättan
The worlds biggest Saab dealer and reference plant for Saab Automobile, ANA Trollhättan will arrange guided tours of the facilities and also host interesting seminars during the day. And while there, why don't take a test drive in one of the latest models in their demo fleet. There will also be a number of seminars at the Saab Car Museum.
Family Rally
On Saturday morning there will be what we i Sweden call a "Familjerally". It means is that you pack your family into your Saab, get a roadbook and go for a drive along small and beautiful roads (we think) around Trollhättan at a comfortable pace. Along the way you have to answer some Saab related questions. It's all very relaxed and it's no speed race, it's all about getting the most right answers at the questions. Coffee will be served along the way. The whole trip will take approxemately 2-3 hours.
Car show
The traditional car show and judgment in different cathegories will be held on Saturday this year. And since it is YOU who makes the Festival to what it is, with your fantastic Saabs and passionate attitude that inspires all and everyone with the Saab spirit, we want as many of you as possible to be able to participate in the car show and show the public what a great car Saab is to own and what wonderful owners you meet in a Saab. Having the car show on Saturday also has the advantage that those of you who has long way home and need to be on your way on Sunday not to miss ferries and such can enjoy the exhibition to its full without getting ants in your pants. Furthermore we can conduct the prize giving ceremony in nice surroundings at the Festival dinner that will be held in the evening.
Festival Dinner
After a full day in and around Saabs you need to get together to - discuss some more Saab subjects right!? Therefore we will meet again in the evening at the Festival Dinner that will be held at the same place that accomodated the anniversary dinner in 2007. Now newly renovated and were proud to be the first event to take place in the renovated building.

Saab swap meet
After a well earned sleep in it's time for what many people think is the climax at a Saab meeting - a real swap meet. A perfect chance to find that part that has seemed to be almost impossible to find. Make a bargain on some gadget you didn't know you needed or just stroll around the vendors, socialise with people and enjoy the atmosphere. Or maybe this is the excuse you need to clean up in the workshop and get rid of some of the old junk that's just been sitting there for ever. Make someone else happy and make som money on your old stuff.
