Welcome to the 53rd Annual Sloan Museum Auto Fair! Held on the scenic grounds of the Flint Cultural Center, this year’s event celebrates Rare Rides—vehicles that are either one-of-a-kind or the last of their kind, displayed prominently in Durant Plaza. Alongside these feature vehicles, you’ll find hundreds of show cars, antique tractors, and classic motorcycles.
Enjoy live music all weekend long, featuring the talented young performers of Third Degree Burns and DJ Scott Kuhl spinning your favorite tunes. For the kids, we’ve got Make and Take model car activities inside the museum, and a variety of food vendors to keep everyone fueled up for the fun!
As it has been for over 50 years, all proceeds from the Sloan Museum Auto Fair go directly toward supporting the acquisition, restoration, maintenance, and promotion of the museum’s one-of-a-kind vehicle and archive collection. This collection plays a vital role in preserving the rich history of Flint and Genesee County’s contributions to the American automobile industry.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in this important preservation effort: register and display your vehicle, invite family and friends to the show, volunteer to help organize the event, or explore promotional opportunities for local businesses.
On behalf of the Sloan Museum of Discovery, Friends of Sloan and Longway, and the Sloan Museum Auto Fair Committee, thank you for spending your weekend with us at this iconic event. Welcome, and enjoy the show!
