Rallye Porsche Mariemont, or RPM, returns to the Village of Mariemont this year on Saturday, September 17th  from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. RPM is the signature annual event of the Ohio Valley Region Porsche Club of America (PCA), which has more than 1,800 members in counties along the Ohio River Valley in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Porsches will be displayed along Wooster Pike from West Street to East Street and around the Village Square. A few cars will also be displayed on Miami Road, north of the square. Westbound traffic along this stretch of Wooster Pike will be consolidated into two-way traffic in the eastbound lanes to ensure the safety of everyone.

The event is expected to draw Porsche owners from Indiana, Kentucky, Central Ohio, and West Virginia with more than 200 cars expected to be displayed. Past events have drawn 1,000 – 1,500 attendees. The Porsche Club of America chose Mariemont for this event because of the Village’s rich architectural heritage, friendly community, great restaurants, and merchant shops.

Again this year, those who would like to purchase an adult beverage from participating restaurants may carry their approved “DORA” (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) cup while meandering among the cars, learning about Porsche and its history.

Note: the limited run posters can be purchased at the venue, however, there are extremely limited quantities available. Perfect addition to a garage or theater room, especially when enjoying a showing of the famous LeMans movie with legendary Steve McQueen.
