Schonesland Porsche Club

Holiday Party 2026

An Evening of Porsche, Friends & Holiday Cheer

It’s time to put the driving season in the rearview mirror and celebrate another great year with the Schonesland Porsche Club!

Join fellow club members, friends, and spouses for our annual Holiday Party on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at the Jordan Creek Crossing Event Center at the Hilton Garden Inn in West Des Moines.

Whether you’ve spent the year carving corners with the club, enjoying a leisurely Sunday drive, showing off your Porsche at an event, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of our club, this is the perfect opportunity to come together, share stories, raise a glass, and celebrate the year.

The Evening

The festivities begin at 5:00 PM with a Cocktail Reception, featuring light appetizers and a cash bar. There will be plenty of time to relax, catch up with old friends, and meet some of the newer faces in the club.

Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM and will feature:

Prime Rib Carving Station
Mediterranean Chicken
Fresh accompaniments and sides
Cake and cookies for dessert

Gluten free buffet items will be noted as such. Vegetarian and Vegan meals will also be available. Please contact Phil Patterson at phil.patterson@mchsi.com to coordinate.

Following dinner, our guest speakers will begin at 7:30 PM, followed by an evening of music and dancing as the band takes the stage at 8:30 PM. This year’s holiday party will feature a door prize drawing for current Schonesland Region PCA members. Make sure to pick up your door prize ticket when you check in at the holiday party.

A cash bar will be available throughout the evening. Coffee, tea, lemonade, and water will be complimentary.

And, of course… bring your Porsche spirit!

While your Porsche may be spending a little more time in the garage by December, the Holiday Party is a great opportunity to celebrate the cars, the drives, and—most importantly—the people who make the Schonesland Porsche Club such a great group.
