ABOUT THE SHOW

 In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, our 2026 showcase highlights the dedication of active military members, veterans, medical personnel, and first responders. Qualified service participants will have the option to park in a dedicated feature corral and receive a custom display card sharing their branch, role, and story. This is a relaxed, "Cars & Coffee" style gathering with no competitive classes, judges, or trophies. Once your car is parked, you are completely free to roam the 5th Annual Fall Street Festival, which brings 13,000 to 15,000 spectators to our downtown. Enjoy multiple live bands, a farmers market, a petting zoo, pumpkin decorating, and excellent local food, with all downtown shops open for business.
