Wekfest San Jose 2026 Packed the Convention Center With Liberty Walk, RWB, and VIP Builds
The tour's home-turf Bay Area stop drew a curated floor spanning GT-Rs, widebody Supras, time-attack cars, and full VIP sedans on June 28.
Wekfest returned to the San Jose Convention Center on June 28 for what's effectively a home-turf stop for a brand that started in a San Francisco parking garage back in 2008. The floor leaned into the widest possible cross-section of the scene: Liberty Walk and RWB widebody kits scattered across multiple platforms, R32 through R35 Nissan GT-Rs, modified A90 Supras, VIP-style sedans built for stance over lap times, and time-attack cars built for the opposite.
That range is close to the point of a Wekfest stop at this point in the franchise's life — the show doesn't hand out an overall best-in-show in the way a lot of car meets do, leaning instead on its jury process to screen builds for finish and intent before they even make the floor, then letting the range of what gets in do the talking. Wekfest's next US stop is Seattle on July 26, continuing a touring calendar that now runs coast to coast.
It's a smaller story than a single record-setting build, but a useful one for tracking the health of the scene itself: two decades after Wekfest started, the format is still pulling a genuinely full floor on both sides of the country without needing a headline car to justify the trip.
