The weekend features 'Gasoline Alley' showcasing Chryslers and Cadillacs, muscle cars, customised hot rods to military Jeeps and motorcycles.
Plus, they'll be a 'whole lotta shakin' goin' on' with various live bands performing throughout the weekend, from 1940s swing, rockabilly, Rock n' Roll to country.
With pop up guest DJs slots, free dance lessons, American themed food, licensed bars and more . . . it's guaranteed to be a great free weekend out for all the family y'all!
