One of the largest all-make, all-model shows in the country takes place just across the Mackinac Bridge in St. Ignace- The St. Ignace Car Show. Hundreds of antique, custom, and celebrity automobiles take part in this internationally acclaimed event. Parades, cruises, awards, and more! Upwards of 700 entries are generally displayed, including hot rods, custom vehicles, trucks, and more. One special exhibit involves a number of drag racing cars from the Detroit area, complete with drivers and those who built the vehicles.
