Car Shows Across Wisconsin and Illinois

The Milwaukee Motor Channel travels across Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois filming some of the most exciting car shows and automotive events in the Midwest. Our goal is to document the incredible creativity, craftsmanship, and passion found within the car show and car club community.

While most of our filming takes place in Wisconsin and Illinois, we are always open to traveling to new events whenever our budget and schedule allow. Every show we attend is an opportunity to highlight the people, vehicles, and unique cultures that make car shows such an important part of automotive life.

This page features a collection of every car show video we’ve filmed so far. Click on any event below to explore the videos and experience the cars, the crowds, and the culture behind each show.

Car Show Culture and Automotive Communities

Car shows are more than just gatherings of vehicles — they are celebrations of culture, creativity, and community. Different regions and car clubs bring their own unique styles and traditions, and each event showcases a different side of automotive culture.

At the shows we cover, you’ll find a wide variety of automotive styles, including:

Big Rim Car Shows
These shows feature Donks, Box Chevys, and other big rim builds known for their bold paint jobs, custom interiors, and oversized wheels.

Lowrider Shows
Lowrider culture focuses on craftsmanship, hydraulic suspension systems, and beautifully detailed vehicles designed to ride low and smooth on smaller rims.

Classic Car Shows
Classic car enthusiasts celebrate automotive history by restoring and preserving vehicles to maintain their original look, performance, and heritage.

RC and Custom Bike Shows
Some events even feature RC cars, custom bicycles, and creative automotive art, expanding the definition of car culture beyond full-size vehicles.

Discover the Passion Behind Car Clubs and Car Shows

For many enthusiasts, car shows and car clubs are a way of life. These events bring together people who share a deep passion for vehicles, design, and automotive expression.
