The National Street Rod Association (NSRA) is bringing its premier event back to Louisville, transforming the region into an automotive paradise for vintage car enthusiasts. As the world's largest vintage car show, the four-day event features more than 10,000 street rods, customs, muscle cars, and unique vintage automobiles manufactured in 1996 or earlier. Spectators have the unique opportunity to walk right up to these meticulously preserved vehicles to inspect the artistry, custom paint, and mechanical work. Beyond the outdoor displays, the event hosts an expansive indoor trade show featuring over 350 specialty manufacturers and automotive parts dealers, alongside a major vintage vehicle swap meet, live entertainment, and thousands of dollars in promotional giveaways.
The event runs from Thursday, August 6, through Sunday, August 9, 2026, at the Kentucky Exposition Center, located at 937 Phillips Lane in Louisville, Kentucky. Daily spectator gates open at 8:00 AM.
