The Grand Daddy of them all!

Brought to you by the Kalamazoo Antique Auto Restorers Club, the Red Barns Spectacular is the most anticipated show of the season! Hailed as the region's “Grand Daddy” of antique, classic and special interest car shows, it is one big day. Two huge shows - a judged show field & a driver’s choice show field. Both are open to any vehicle 25 years or older, including cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, vintage campers, military vehicles, and fire trucks!

More that 1,500 show vehicles will be on the show field, along with special areas for antique campers brought to you by the Tin Can Tourists, cars for sale, and vintage bicycles. Plus, check out over 380 swap meet vendors onsite and shop for those hard to find car parts, tools, literature, antiques, arts, crafts and more. For more information, check out the Red Barns Spectacular's Facebook page.

Diner open for breakfast at 7am

* Please note museum memberships provide for free spectator admission, but not free participant or vendor admission.

Camping

Only campers from 1999 and older can reserve electrical outlets. Campers from the 2000s and newer will be assigned non-electric spots (we will guide you on where to park). Learn more about on-site camping.
