Week 25, 2024 | 34 Shows | 50th Annual Back to the 50's Weekend | Summer Nights | Dennison Days | BTT50s Swap Meet on Sunday
June 17 - June 23 | This week we are celebrating 50 years of Minnesota's Back to the 50's Weekend which recently has drawn nearly 12,000 classic cars to the State Fairgrounds.
Welcome Show Junkies
It’s finally here!
The Back to the 50’s Weekend is Minnesota’s #1 car show.
It’s 3 full days of hot rods, street rods, classic cars and good ole fashioned Rock-n-Roll music.
This years’ event offers a chance to meet and greet the Nascar legend Richard Petty on Friday afternoon.
Saturdays afternoon lineup includes a Vintage Plane Flyover along with the Pin-up Contest.
You won’t want to miss the nostalgic sounds of live entertainment both Friday and Saturday evenings starting at 6:30pm at the bandshell.
And after admiring the cool rides the Sunday lineup begins with the largest swap meet of the summer which begins bright and early at 6:00 am.
This is one great weekend event that brings classic cars in from across the U.S.A.
I highly recommend this show to classic car lovers and everyone that enjoys good ole fashioned rock-n-roll.
And those of us that love those sweet delectable treats from Martha’s Cookies!
Thanks for joining and see you at the shows!
