Subaru breaks Guinness World Record for largest parade of same-make cars

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) has has broken the Guinness World Records title for the largest parade of Subaru cars with 1,751 Subaru vehicles at Costa Mesa, California. The new record was broken with three times as many vehicles compared to the previous record.

The parade was organised by the 2020 Subaru Tecnica International (STI) Subiefest, and the length of the parade spanned 3.2km. The record for largest parade of Subaru cars was previously broken in 2015 with a total of 549 vehicles. 

STI Subiefest is one of the largest annual gatherings of Subaru enthusiasts in the U.S.A.

This year, STI Subiefest offered an alternative to its traditional festival by organising a parade that ensured attendees' safety during the COVID-19 pandemic and made history.

In lieu of ticket sales this year, SOA asked for a donation to Feeding America from each registration who participated in the record attempt.

The gracious donations from the participants will provide a total of  241,800 meals for those struggling with hunger in the U.S.A. SOA will match the donations collected, bringing the total number of meals to 500,000. Feeding America will deliver the meals to two food banks in California - The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Second Harvest Orange County.
