Cadillac BIG Meet
On Thursday before the Grand European, the bi-annual Cadillac BIG Meet takes place in Kremmünster, Austria. Since 2004, the meet has established itself as the largest non-club Cadillac meet in Europe. By combining the Cadillac BIG Meet and the Grand European, we want to offer participants who have a longer journey even more reasons to take part in both the Cadillac BIG Meet and the GE. This way, everyone can enjoy the beautiful landscape with its many highlights between Linz and Munich.
Both the BIG Meet and the Grand European have an important motto: slowing down. We want you to enjoy the Cadillacs. We will be cruising and not driving a rally. There will always be enough time for conversations.
After the Cadillac BIG Meet, we will meet again on Sunday morning for Cars and Coffee. From there, anyone who wants to, can join us for a stopover in a hotel on the way to Munich via the Alps. Participation for the trip to Munich is limited to 30 vehicles.
