All things Ford converge on Carlisle, PA June 2-4. Get your Blue Oval fix in Carlisle!
Carlisle, PA – The 2023 Carlisle Ford Nationals takes place June 2-4 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. Gates open at 7 a.m. daily for this massive gathering of Ford lovers from around the world, all converging on Carlisle to see special displays, meet industry guests, watch the wheels in motion, and check out decades of past, present, and future excellence from Ford.
From the time the first guest enters the gates on Friday the 2nd through the departure of the final show car on Sunday the 4th, the facility will be bustling with Blue Oval excitement. Announced special displays this year include those showcasing SVT, Coyote powerplants, the Lightning, 40 Years of Saleen, the Malaise Era, and more. In addition, the annual Ford Nationals Select Display returns to Building Y, offering a glimpse of at least a dozen vehicles unique to the history of Ford.
Get out those cameras, because not only are there focused gatherings of unique vehicles by way of the displays, but the National Parts Depot Showfield will also be packed with car owners who want to show off their prized Ford to anxious throngs of spectators. Those same owners and spectators will revel in planned vehicle walkarounds at the stage, some wheels-in-motion competitions like rolling burnouts and donuts presented by Atturo Tires, a rolling exhaust contest, and even some track time with the Real Street Shootout. In addition, select special displays will transition from parked to rolling for on-grounds parades, while the Downtown Carlisle Association presents its annual Ford Downtown Parade, Park and Party on Saturday, June 3.
But wait, there’s more…a whole lot more. Ford weekend draws in the star power by way of people and cars/trucks. Both elements will stand front and center through a series of vehicle unveilings and activities. Specifics on which major companies and what they’ll be unveiling will be announced soon by way of the Carlisle Ford Nationals Facebook page and online at CarlisleEvents.com.

In addition, discounted spectator admission tickets are available online, while kids 12 and under are admitted FREE.
