About Southern Illinois Car Shows

If you've ever tried to find car shows in Southern Illinois, you know the struggle. You have to join a dozen Facebook groups, check each one individually, scroll past unrelated posts, and hope someone remembered to share the flyer for that cruise night in Marion next Saturday.

We built this site to fix that.

SouthernILCarShows.com is the only place you need to check for every car show, cruise night, swap meet, and automotive event happening in our region — from the St. Louis Metro East all the way to Champaign, down to Evansville and everywhere in between.

Community-Powered

This isn't a one-person operation. Anyone can submit an event for free, and our community moderators keep the calendar accurate and spam-free. The more people contribute, the better the calendar gets for everyone.

For Organizers

Running a car show? Submit it here and get it in front of every car enthusiast in the region. It's free, it takes two minutes, and it's the best way to get the word out beyond your usual Facebook group.

For Sponsors

Local business? Dealership? Parts shop? Detailer? Our audience is exactly the people you want to reach. Email for sponsorship opportunities.
