IN 2025, THE ROAD IS THE SHOW
If you're into chrome, curves, and carburetors... and you're chasing that next story-worthy weekend... this is it.
This isn't your Dad's parking lot car show. It's two days of interactive socialization and fun in one of the most scenic small towns in America. Tight mountain roads. Historic downtown streets. Big personalities. Bigger engines.
Whether you're rolling in with your ride or just showing up for the vibe... Eureka Springs is where you want to be.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 – DINNER AND SUNSET CRUISE
5:00 PM | Kick off the weekend at the Great Hall Buffet. Grab a plate, grab a seat, and get to know the crew.
6:20 PM | We hit the blacktop and head out for a scenic sunset cruise from Beaver Dam. Views like this don’t need filters. Expect a sunset to remember!
$25 per person covers dinner and cruise
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 – SHOW, PARADE, ROBBERY, AND MORE
$20 per car to participate
Spectating is free... and 100 percent worth the drive
8:30 AM – Informal Show & Shine at Pine Mountain Village
No judges. No trophies. Just real people, real stories, and some of the coolest machines you’ll find in the Ozarks.
11:00 AM – Parade Through Historic Downtown
This is an escorted cruise through one of the most picturesque main streets in America. Locals and visitors will be cheering you on from balconies, sidewalks, and patios.
12:00 PM – Bank Robbery Reenactment
A full-on showdown... right out of the history books! Performed in the heart of town, it’s one of Eureka’s most unexpected (and unforgettable) traditions.
Lunch – On Your Own... Eureka’s packed with local spots for every taste. Refuel and relax before the afternoon options.
AFTERNOON OPTIONS – CRUISE OR CHILL
Option 1 – Live Music at Basin Spring Park (12:30 PM to 8:00 PM)
Good bands. Good vibes. Right in the center of downtown.
Option 2 – Cruise to Roaring River (2:00 PM departure)
A scenic drive into Missouri with plenty of curves, trees, and photo ops.
Option 3 – Cruise to War Eagle Mill (2:30 PM departure)
Head out to this historic spot for a mix of history, scenery, and small-town charm.
EVENING HIGHLIGHTS
6:00 to 9:00 PM – Drag Van Buren... It might not be as long as "Woodward in Detroit", but the Drag on Van Buren delivers the same unmistakable vibe... engines humming, locals posted up in lawn chairs, and classic cars cruising like it's 1972.

What sets Eureka apart in 2025? The road is the show! On Saturday night, come cruise at your own pace on a 3 mile loop on Highway 62 between Ridgeview Drive and Glenn Ave. Fans line the route and the atmosphere is electric. It’s not a race. It’s a tradition.
7:30 PM – Ticketed Concert at The Aud featuring the Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Wrap up the weekend with a high-energy show at the historic Auditorium. Great sound. Great crowd. Great way to finish.
THIS ISN’T JUST A CAR SHOW... IT’S A CLASSIC
Whether you're a builder, a collector, a cruiser, or just a fan of horsepower and history... this is your weekend.
Get your crew. Pack the cooler. Clean the camera lenses.
