Carlisle, PA – Spring Carlisle at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is an event that spawns an annual pilgrimage for car lovers and collectors from all walks of life. Much like how the items available bridge generations of automotive production, the people who come to Carlisle also bridge generations – of families! An enthusiast who first came to Spring Carlisle in 1977, now attends with their son or grandson, all while a first-timer shares the same aisle space as they buy, sell and trade all things automotive.

For 2021, Spring Carlisle runs April 21-25 and this year, offers a return to its normal April time frame. With 8,100 spaces available, the grounds come to life with everything from the simple to the exotic. If X marks the spot still means something to enthusiasts who love to hunt and pick, then Spring Carlisle has an X at every turn. Hidden gems, treasures, collectibles, hard to find items; it all adorns the grounds at Carlisle.

In addition to vendors showcasing their wares, multiple partners will be onsite to create a unique Manufactures Midway. The midway plays host to some of the top named automotive companies in the hobby, including Amsoil, Rock Auto, Meguiar’s, A&A Auto Stores, American Collectors Insurance and more. A complete list of midway partners will be available online within the digital version of the event directory. That directory will be available no later than two weeks prior to the event.

Another great event aspect is the ARMO Hot Products Showcase. See in person the latest and greatest products straight from the SEMA Show coming onto the market and talk person to person with their product EXPERTS. Doing this helps you better understandwhat they are showcasing and how their products can work for any vehicle, regardless of its era. Joining ARMO as a special attraction will be a display from the AACA. The display will feature select cars and include information on the car club plus details on their annual fall meet in Hershey in October.

Along with the automotive flea market, the car corral boasts more history on display AND for sale. The comfort level of buying and selling within the corral is high because the pressure is low. Deal directly with the owner face-to-face and know exactly what you’re buying.

Speaking of buying cars, Carlisle Auctions returns to the Carlisle Expo Center in April a two-day classic and collector car auction. The auction hosts over 400+ consignments and spans April 22-23. In addition to nearly every decade of production crossing the block, Carlisle Auctions plans a themed truck hour at a time TBD on April 22.

Another great attraction, though non-automotive, is the Women’s Oasis. This ‘home away from chrome” welcomes amazing vendors and artisans selling items such as handmade crafts, jewelry and accessories, kitchen must-haves, unique clothing, treats to temp you, relaxing scents, beauty products and so much more
