Although the caterer does not offer an alternate menu, let me know if you have special dietary needs and I will try to assist. The cost is $45 per person, including gratuity. Dinner requires an RSVP.

Beach, lobsters, boats, cars and supremely friendly people. We will also be passing a hat to raise funds for The Piston Foundation.

June 12–15, ’25 – East Coast Rendezvous – Lakeside Farms, Ballston Lake, NY (just 7 miles south of Saratoga Springs). The largest annual gathering of classic Citroëns in North America. We are happy to report that Dave and Jamie Burnham have come aboard as chauffeurs for this year’s event on Father’s Day weekend, joining Bill Blaufuss, Jon Chomitz, Michaela Hellman and Tim Kinnel.
- NOTE: There is a new event hotel —the Hyatt Malta. We have a group rate at the Hyatt Malta ($179/night plus NYS taxes), good Thursday through Sunday, but rooms are selling out fast!
- Hotel Booking ***IMPORTANT*** There was a glitch in Hyatt’s system making it appear that rooms were sold out when they were not. As of noon 1/31/25, there were 20 rooms available for all nights. That said, RESERVE QUICKLY online: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/ALBZS/G-CRDV or by phone: +1 518-885-1109.
- The Hyatt has a number of advantages over the Courtyard Marriott from previous years: it’s more convenient to Lakeside Farms while still having easy access to Saratoga Springs. Amenities include king or double queen rooms, both with sofa sleeper; breakfast included; and on-site kitchen.
- Friday night registration will be in the lobby, where you can munch free pizza provided by Rendezvous and you can purchase boissons from the bar (open daily).
- The ‘chauffeurs’ are working on the Rendezvous website and online event registration will be possible in a few weeks here: https://citroenrendezvous.org/.
