Cars N Guitars Auto Show

Start your engines and save the date for the 12th annual Guitars N' Cars Auto Show on Oct. 29 -30 at Houston’s Ellington Airport. The annual family event celebrates Houston’s love of classic cars, vintage guitars and veterans, with proceeds benefiting U.S.VETS — Houston. Open to the public, the show runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, showcasing American classics, exotics, hot rods, muscle machines, and everything in between, along with live music, food trucks and a silent auction.

Organizers have teamed up again with the Commemorative Air Force Wings Over Houston Airshow and Fuller’s Guitar, giving guests bonus access to an expanded two-day festival starring the headlining Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron. In its 38th year, the show also features vintage aircraft, aviation exhibits, aerobatic performers, motion simulator rides, merchandise booths and a carnival. General admission tickets to the Wings Over Houston Airshow must be purchased to attend Guitars N’ Cars. Visit wingsoverhouston.com for information on general and discounted admission.
