Old Fashioned Days

Early Aug - Downtown Stanton

August 9-11, 2024!

Join us for our annual community celebration preserving our Stanton Heritage and History!  Bringing the community together, our Old Fashioned Days celebration features a variety of activities and events from Children's Activities, Classic Car Show and Antique Tractor Show, Entertainment, Sporting events and much more!

There's something for all ages, so come on out and enjoy the fun!  We look forward to seeing you there!

The annual Car Show and Cruise Night has become a main event since its start in 1986 with about 50 cars on display. Since then, this event has continued to grow, attracting hundreds of classic cars, trucks and motorcycles to our city each summer. You won’t want to miss Historic Downtown Stanton come to life on Saturday from 2 to 6:30 P.M. Spectators, both young and old will enjoy walking up and down the street admiring one car after another, picturing their dream car or reminiscing about the past.

Have a vehicle you want to show-off? Registration is from 11:00 to 2:00 P.M. at the corner of Walnut Street and S. State Street (M-66). There is a $20 day-of registration fee or save time & money with pre-registration!. At registration, you will receive directions to your approved lineup location. Once your show car is parked in the lineup, you may temporarily leave to watch the parade or walk the street to enjoy downtown, as long as you are back in time to move onto Main Street immediately after the Grand Parade. For registrations after 2:00 P.M., enter Main Street from the corner of Court Street and Main St. The registration booth will then be relocated in front of Huntington Bank.

Upon registration, each vehicle owner can fold out their lawn chairs, sit back, and chat with the many visitors that stroll past to admire their entry, while enjoying the music piped up and down the street. Judges will choose the Top 30 from all of the entries and a Best in Show award will be determined by people’s choice. After the show is over, car show participants are invited to rev it up in a farewell cruise through Downtown Stanton, but please remember that safety is our #1 priority. Burnouts and tire chirping or squealing will be policed, and citations will be issued accordingly.
