Voted #1 Car Show in the United States by USA Today/10best for the past two years, Minnesota Street Rod Association’s (MSRA) Back to the 50’s Weekend really needs no explanation. But, we put together this guide anyway.

What

The nation’s #1 Car Show is a true blast from the past. Check out more than 11,500 registered classic vehicles, live music, vendors, kids games, a craft fair and hang with Dave Kindig and of MotorTrend TV’s Hit Show Bitchin’ Rides and Justin Nichols from Wrench'd. Returning for the second year is entertainment on the Westend Shakedown Stage and the Bandshell Stage will be rockin' as always.
