Car Shows Guide for McHenry County

Calling all hot rods! Whether it’s muscle cars, supercars, imports, or domestics, if your idea of a good time is checking out a bunch of sweet rides, then this is the guide for you. Car shows offer up cheap…or free…entertainment for the whole family. The best part is, you can find a car show in McHenry County, nearly every day of the week throughout the summer and even into the fall.

Our guide features car shows and cruise nights held across McHenry County and we have them broken out below by city or village. Some of these shows are standalone events while others are part of larger events or festivals. Likewise, some of these shows are held on a single date, while others are recurring, so be sure to note the dates and times. Also, note that not all recurring shows happen weekly, so be sure to check the specific show details.

President and Founder of Identity Developments, LLC, the parent company of the McHenry Life website. My hope for McHenry Life is to create a resource and destination for the residents and businesses of McHenry County alike. A place where residents can discover new places to explore, fun events and ways to spend time, and then share those experiences with others. A place where businesses can connect with existing and potential customers, and not simply market their businesses, but share their own unique stories.
