Some of Our Favorite Car Shows & Cruise-In’s of 2025

We go to a ton of car shows and cruise-in’s, and it is hard to pick out our favorites, but below are a few of our favorite shows we went to during 2025.

See You at a Show in 2026!

Mr. Hot Rod Hoarder himself puts on an amazing Swap Meet yearly on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Here is our visit to the 2025 edition of that event.

Crossville is home, so of course it is always one of our favorites to go to throughout the year. Hoping they can again expand beyond 4 cruise-in’s a year in the future! Here is our experience from May 2025.

Crossville again! Love the downtown when it is decked out with classic cars.

We love the Redneck Rumble!

We always look forward to the Scott’s Hotrods & Customs Open House, like this one that took place in May 2025. Many thanks to the folks at Scott’s for welcoming everyone in to their facility.

We love the annual show at the Sparta Drive-In. Rain tried to scare us again, but it worked out after all!

The Back Porch Festival in Crab Orchard is a beautiful place for a car show.

In May 2025, we went to the Historic Hastings Minnesota Classic Car Show. If you are ever near the Twin Cities on a Sunday when this happens, you MUST head to Hastings. Amazing grouping of Classic Cars!

Battle in the Cornfield really surprised us in August.

Our first trip to the October Sky Festival in Oliver Springs did not disappoint.

Super early in the year we made our way down to Whitwell and went to the first monthly Marion County Cruise-In. Tri-Fives were the featured cars in April.

In April we took the drive up to Livingston and attended the monthly Overton County Cruise-In. Scott, Jack, & the crew do a great job puttong on this little event.

In July we made our first visit to Coker Tire Collector Car Day in Chattanooga. Will definitely be back!

Tennessee State Fair was a little different in how they had the cars set up this year, but was still a good little car show in Lebanon.

Not only did the Charlie Cass Memorial Car Show have a lot of cool cars, they also had some awesome food at the Midway Milk Shake!

Pikeville is just a short drive from Crossville and we always try to hit it a couple of times during the year. Their monthly cruise-in happens the first Saturday evening of the month during the warmer months of the year.
