Celebrate Saint Louis will host the first-ever All-American Car Show on Saturday, July 4, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Ballpark Village in downtown St. Louis as part of the official Celebrate Saint Louis – Celebrate 250, the city’s largest Independence Day festival and America’s 250th birthday celebration.
The free, public car show will feature 100 select American-made antique and classic vehicles. Cash prizes, trophies, and plaques will be awarded, highlighted by a $2,500 grand prize for Best in Show.
Eligible Categories Include: Antique (pre-1970), Muscle Cars, Classic (1970s–1990s), and Custom & Hot Rod.
“America’s 250th birthday is the perfect moment to celebrate American ingenuity and design,” said Daniel Schmitt, Chairperson of the All-American Car Show. “This car show is a great way to honor that legacy with an outstanding display of classic American automobiles right in the heart of St. Louis.”
Participants will enjoy a prime location in Ballpark Village, with large crowds, live music, drone shows, and spectacular fireworks as part of the full-day Celebrate Saint Louis festivities.
Registration is now open, but extremely limited — only 100 vehicles will be accepted. Early registration is strongly encouraged as spots are expected to fill quickly. The registration deadline is Saturday, June 20, 2026.
