The Valparaiso Car, Truck and Bike Show and Swap Meet returns to the Porter County Expo Center, BIGGER AND BETTER!!

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.

Last year's shows were a record-breaking year for the event with 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.

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.
