Since the Valpo Car Shows have advertised with PanoramNOW for the past 20 years, it’s no surprise that it is expanding in 2024.
Thousands of spectators and automotive enthusiasts are expected to attend the upcoming Valpo Car, Truck, Bike Show & Swap Meet at the Porter County Fairgrounds on May 19th . This springtime event has grown in popularity each year, and the event’s coordinators have recently expanded their available space to provide room for more vehicles, vendors, food options, and attendees.
Last year’s shows were a record-breaking year for the event. More than 500 vehicles and 200 vendor swap spaces were filled. This year, the show has expanded to include both the north and south fairgrounds areas. The south side of the fairgrounds will now be used strictly for the swap meet and will have over 500 vendor spaces. The north side, which is mostly paved, will be dedicated for showing vehicles.
“There’s been a tremendous amount of excitement about this year’s springtime show – we’ve been getting calls from all over the Midwest,” said show owner Mark Halliar. “This year is going to be even bigger! We’re going to have more vehicles to check out, more vendors with unique merchandise and rare auto parts, more food vendors, and all kinds of other fun activities the whole family can enjoy.”
In addition to all the automotive action, the show will also feature an open beer garden (so attendees can walk around with their beverages); a live DJ; a merch tent with t-shirts, stickers, temporary tattoos, and more; plus opportunities for show entrants to win prizes for their
vehicles.
