Hit the Road: Magic Dragon Car Show

Thousands of spectators and about more than 800 show vehicles will be participating in the Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals May 5-7 in Lake Ozark. The show started in 1987 and has grown into a summer favorite that some say is like being on the set of “American Graffiti.”

Show vehicles are limited to rat rods, street rods, muscle cars, street machines and motorcycles. They will be parked along the center lane of the Bagnell Dam Strip and in designated spots along the roadway. Show judges for this show will be looking at exterior, interior, engine and compartments to vote for the top vehicles in each class.

The Bagnell Dam Strip will be closed to traffic from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, Motorists can access the Dam by using Valley Road. Use alternate routes or bypass the Strip via Route 242 if not attending the event. Several nearby businesses offer parking for a fee for spectators, and parking is available below Bagnell Dam.
