Ready to start your engines? A successful car show has many moving parts, but with proper planning, you’ll be able to create a memorable and entertaining event for all of your supporters. Here’s what you’ll need for your car show:

Spacious venue

For your event, you should be able to accommodate a significant number of cars while leaving ample space for attendees to walk around. A large parking lot or field would be ideal to fit the show cars, vendors’ booths, and other activities as well.

Volunteers

A large space and event necessitates an effective team of volunteers to make sure everything runs smoothly. Reach out to your current supporters with opportunities to get involved according to their skillsets. For instance, you’ll need volunteers to handle ticketing and additional donations at the event, as well as coordinating with vendors and local business sponsors.

Local vendors and sponsors

A car show is a wonderful way to build more connections with local businesses in your organization’s community. While you can sell your own food and refreshments, invite restaurants, bakeries, and other businesses to set up booths at your event and arrange to receive a percentage of their sales to support your cause.

Marketing materials

Spreading the word about your upcoming car show is fundamental to your event’s success. Create social media posts, flyers, and email updates that will generate excitement among your community and current supporters and encourage them to attend. Make sure you highlight your car show as an excellent opportunity to socialize, eat, and enjoy the local car culture.
