The Rusted Relic Revival vintage car show will return to The Handlebar for its second year on December 7, 2024. Hosted by The Rusty Knuckle Torque Club and The Handlebar, this event will feature vintage vehicles, live rockabilly music, and a variety of food and beverage options.
The event begins at 12 pm, with vehicles lining the street outside The Handlebar at 319 N. Tarragona St. in downtown Pensacola. While all vehicles are welcome, historic, vintage, and patina-style vehicles will be the event’s main focus. A variety of hot rods, rat rods, and customs will be on display for car enthusiasts to appreciate.
Rockabilly artists The Modern Eldorados and Nik Flagstar will perform throughout the event. Attendees are encouraged to dress in rockabilly attire and take to the dance floor, as awards will be presented for the best-dressed participants and the best dancers.
A variety of food and beverage options will be available, including burgers from Sauce Boss Burger Co., ice cream from Mr. Softee, and barbecue from The Meat Candy BBQ. The Handlebar will be open and serving up a selection of drinks during the event.
“The Rusty Knuckle Torque Club and The Handlebar are excited to welcome everyone to the Rusted Relic Revival,” said Event Organizer Ben Bogan. “We’re looking forward to the unique vehicles on display and the stories behind them. Whether you join as a spectator or register your classic ride, we promise a fun street party with great vehicles, music, food, and drinks in beautiful downtown Pensacola!”
The car show will conclude with an awards ceremony inside The Handlebar at 5 pm. A portion of Tarragona Street will be closed throughout the event to allow participating vehicles to park outside The Handlebar. The street will reopen at 6 pm.
Admission is free for spectators, while registration is required for car show participants. Registered participants will receive a swag bag, a beer ticket, and entry into The Handlebar’s post-show after-party. Register online here.
