The Big Bend Octane Fest started with a group of auto enthusiasts that enjoyed cruising the Big Bend Area of West Texas. BBOF '19 started with 40 cars and a goal of promoting gearhead camaraderie while raising funds for the local community. In 2025 we hosted 62 cars at the event and raised over $20,000 for donation. Come enjoy the scenic routes that make Alpine, Terlingua, Big Bend and Ft. Davis something to talk about.
