Festival on Wheels Car Show

08/31/2026

It's amazing how stories can spread and unfortunately with the wrong info...to set the record straight we are having the car show this year at the same location as in the past, the only major change will be where the tent, stage and vendors will be located. The entrance roadway will still enter off the highway as in past years but will enter into the show lot at a new location. There will be signage and workers helping to direct you. We really need to stress that you must only enter where we direct you and you need to follow the route to the tent area. Please do not just pull in and park where you want, we have put a lot of time in trying to make this a safe and easy process.

A few changes in classes but awards will still be the same in totals...Street Rods are combined but will still get as many awards total as in past years. Other classes have been combined to help even out award breakdowns. This has been determined by tracking total entries in each class over the past 5 years to adjust to the trends. Again there will still be the same total of awards as the classes had in the past.

Several new sponsors have jumped onboard this year and we are adding more prizes to the Saturday night Poker Run in addition to the best hand! Come in Saturday after the Hamilton show and get registered in and take a cruise through our town and try your luck at the Poker Run. Several of our supporting businesses would love to see you. New this year is both Saturday and Sunday activities will take part on the show grounds site across from the Grape Festival activities in the State Park. Lots to do in Nauvoo Labor Day Weekend!

just a few weeks away! Here is the finished shirt design for this year's 49th Annual event! I love designing these each year and what a great honor to have your car featured on the shirt but also a great way to honor those we have lost this past year that were part of the Festival on Wheels family! I will post later on how you can pre-order one for this year.
