St. Elias Car Show - 2026

We are very excited to invite Frogtown Cruisers and the greater Toledo area back to our St. Elias Car Show! This event is free, family-friendly, and open to the public! Bring your "Chariot" for an afternoon of food, fun, and fast cars.
The Prophet Elias, also known in the Hebrew Bible as Elijah, uniquely appears to us in both the Old and New Testament. There are many symbols associated with St. Elias, but one special marker is his fiery chariot. In 2 Kings 2, we read "that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them [Elijah and Elisha]; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
At St. Elias Orthodox Christian Church, and many other Orthodox Christian Churches across the globe, it has become a tradition to bless "chariots" on the Feast Day of St. Elias, July 20. That means you'll find our priest blessing the cars, trucks, bikes, and scooters of parishioners' on and around July 20!
The Schedule:
11am Registration & Car Show Begins
12pm Tour of St. Elias Church
2pm Car Judging & Awards
3pm Tour of St. Elias Church
3:30pm Blessing of the Chariots
4pm Car Show Closes
5pm Great Vespers in St. Elias Church
