It’s a Louisville (pronounced LOO-Ville) hot rod tradition, The Beatersville Car and Bike Show.

The 17th edition of this gearhead favorite, held on the last Sunday in May, moved back to it’s original home, the streets of the Warehouse District in downtown Louisville Kentucky. It had ben held out at the Bullitt County fairgrounds for a couple of years due the COVID restriction that were in place.

The Beatersville Car and Bike Show is a traditional rod and custom show that features, 1968 and older, cars, and, trucks from all over the mid-west and mid -south regions.

Besides all the cool cars, truck and bikes, the show featured bands, vendors, the ever-popular, Miss Beatersville contest, food trucks, cash bar, and much more.

The charity panel jam and auction took place again this year hosted by Beatersville friends, the Louisville Paint Slingers.

Spectators filled the streets of the Warehouse district, to check out every part of the event, and this is a hot rod favorite must see.

Beatersville 2023 will take place on Sunday May 28th, so make plans now to head to LOO-Ville for some hot rod fun. Check out www.beaterville.com for all the details and to pre-register your pre-68 car or bike.
