Full lists of events
Luxury on Display: The Show’s luxury lineup starts in Millionaire’s Row, where you’ll find vehicles from
highline brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, and Maserati. Across the aisle, Recharge Rally will show
off customization and speed in the form of Lamborghini, McLaren, and more.
Ride N’ Drives: With opportunities from 9 brands, the Show’s Ride-N-Drives include outdoor test drives
of 35 different models from Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Kia, Ram, Subaru, Tesla and Volkswagen.
Classic Cars: One of the most popular attractions, the Classic Car Show features locally-owned vehicles
that are 25+ years old – this year’s lineup ranges from 1926 to 1997, with a few special rarities! Classics
will be located in the South Hall throughout the run of the Show.
Special Features: Explore each brand’s booth to learn about the newest features, from color options to
show-stopping tech, and you’ll find fun and games too – plus contests and swag! Highlights include
Honda’s Motocompacto Track, Nissan’s Thrill Street, and Subaru Loves Pets… adoptable puppies are
back!
The fun features are rounded out with installments by Johnny K’s Powersports, Crawford Auto Aviation
Museum, and the Cleveland Institute of Art. Each of these displays will highlight their unique perspective
on transportation.
