BC Z Fest 2025
A Celebration of the Z Legacy and the Power of Community
On August 24th, 2025, the parking lot at Tsawwassen Mills transformed into a sea of Zs — 125 of them, to be exact. Enthusiasts from across British Columbia came together for BC Z Fest, an annual gathering dedicated to one of Japan’s most celebrated sports cars: the Nissan Z.
From the timeless Datsun 240Zs that started the legend to the cutting-edge 2025 Nissan Z, every car represented a chapter in over fifty years of performance heritage. Hood to hood, generation to generation, fans shared stories and celebrated what makes the Z family so special — the connection between driver and machine.
Among the incredible lineup stood one car that captured everyone’s attention — the Nissan Z Nismo GT4. Trailered in from Applewood Performance Center, this was the actual race car that competed in the 2024 GT4 America Series. Its aggressive stance, track-ready setup, and storied past made it the undeniable centerpiece of the event — a glimpse into Nissan’s motorsport soul.
But BC Z Fest has always been about more than horsepower. This year’s event proudly supported AutismBC, a local organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. Through awareness and fundraising efforts, the Z community helped further AutismBC’s mission of inclusivity, education, and connection across the province.
As the day came to a close, rows of Zs gleamed under the August sun — a perfect reflection of passion, heritage, and heart. BC Z Fest once again proved that when car culture meets community, something truly special happens.
