Summer’s out. Fall’s in. And your garage door is about to open.

Remember Weekly Wheels Car + Bike Meets? That electric feeling when the hood pops, the crowd gathers, and someone’s Skyline makes a grown adult weep openly? Good. Now imagine that energy, but bigger — with a $500 check on the line and a chairlift running in the background like it’s already dreaming of snow.

Welcome to the inaugural Bucktoberfest Car Show, the automotive centerpiece of Bucktoberfest, Buck Hill’s fall festival celebrating the last golden weekend of summer, the crisp start of sweater weather, and yes, the not-so-distant sound of edges carving fresh corduroy.
