Carlisle Events, one of the world’s largest presenters of collector car, truck and motorcycle entertainment, is the preferred auto show destination for enthusiasts and collector car hobbyists worldwide!

For almost four decades, Carlisle Events has been a staple in the automotive community. Our passion is legendary to those who have made Carlisle, Pennsylvania their "Automotive Hometown." We host or are part of 13 seasonal automotive events, ten of which are held at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, two at the Auburn Auction Park in Auburn, Indiana and a singular event at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. These events draw enthusiasts from all over the world.



Carlisle Performance & Style

The Cars, the People, the Excitement - Carlisle's slogan was on full display this past weekend as part of Carlisle Performance & Style. The event saw over 1,500 cars on grounds and approximately 20,000 enthusiasts enjoy a weekend filled with sunny weather and great displays that had everyone asking for more!

Carlisle Performance & Style launched on Friday with its annual kickoff party and first-ever partnership with McCann Business School where nearly 100 cars cruised in to compete for trophies, prizes and to help the Ronald McDonald House Charities of central Pennsylvania.

As Friday transitioned into Saturday, the weekend excitement was at a level not seen in years. The showfield was laced cars of various makes and models, while throngs of adrenaline junkies enjoyed autocross, drifting, the StarBoyz, burnouts, beauty and great displays like the ICE House, Kickin' it Old Skool and the LEDGlow neon contest.



Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals

Take a trip around the world as part of the Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals, May 18-20 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. In addition to the automotive world tour, international flavor will be the focal point of the weekend via concessions, live music and special displays.

The Passport Program returns and allows you to win prizes by walking the grounds and enjoying the cars aligned by country on the showfield. The international festival is further enhanced by highlighting Italian rides and to compliment the international feel on grounds, select concessionaires will feature ethnic foods specific to the countries represented. The weekend also plays host to special guests, displays, family activities and more.

Sunday only will see the first-ever teen driving school take place at the former International Automotive Components (IAC) complex parking lot, located just off grounds. The FREE school is designed to give “young drivers” a chance to better themselves behind the wheel through real life situations. Would be participants should contact William Sangrey, East Region NCCC Chairman at 717-243-3955.

Shopping is also vital to the weekend with the manufactures midway and swap meet. There is also an all import car corral, kids activities and so much more! Admission is $15 for a three-day pass, or $8 per day, with children age 8 and under admitted free.
