A Legacy of Southern Car Culture

Founded in 2018, the Southern Tradition Car and Truck Show was born from a passion for classic and custom vehicles, carrying on the legacy of Georgia’s largest car show after its retirement. What started as a vision has grown into one of the most anticipated automotive events in the region, attracting a diverse mix of cars, trucks, bikes, side-by-sides, Jeeps, and more.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Etowah River Park—one of the largest parks in Cherokee County—Southern Tradition is a full blown celebration of car culture and the community, where enthusiasts come together to showcase their prized rides and connect with like-minded fans.
