After being held for 22 years, the NISMO Festival was regrettably canceled the last two years to help contain COVID-19 and ensure the well-being of fans, participating teams, exhibitors, and Nissan and NISMO employees. This year, Nissan and Nissan Motorsports & Customizing Co., Ltd. (NMC) have decided to hold the festival to meet the expectations of fans while making the upmost effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Happening on December 4, 2022 from 9 AM to 9 PM, the 23rd annual NISMO Festival event enables fans to experience the excitement of motorsports, Nissan Racing DNA, and the NISMO brand. This year's event will highlight the history of the NISMO Festival and Fairlady Z race cars.

Takao Katagiri, head of Nissan's Motorsports Business Unit Office and president of NMC, says, “Over the past two years, we have heard from many fans who are eagerly waiting for the NISMO Festival to be held again. As NMC was established to integrate the strengths of NISMO and AUTECH, we’re excited to showcase an even more attractive NISMO brand. This year we will also hold an AUTECH owners group Shonan homecoming meeting, which had previously been canceled due to the pandemic. We will take thorough precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the well-being of all participants at the event. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.”

Tickets will go on sale starting in September, and Nissan will also have online content available for those who will not be able to attend in person.
