Cruiser Car Show Vendor Sign-up 2026

Description

Cruiser Car Show – Vendor Application
📅 Saturday, October 10, 2026 | ⏰ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Main Street Square, Downtown Rapid City

The Cruiser Car Show, presented in partnership with the Rapid City Police Department, is a free, community-focused event celebrating classic and vintage vehicles in downtown Rapid City. The show draws car enthusiasts, families, and visitors throughout the afternoon, creating a lively, high-traffic environment for vendors.

Vendors at this event do best when their offerings complement a crowd that appreciates classic cars, timeless craftsmanship, and quality food. Specialty food, baked goods, and unique retail items tend to resonate particularly well. While vendors are welcome to sell products, this is primarily an experience-driven event, so sales expectations should be planned accordingly.

This is a great opportunity for vendors to connect with a dedicated audience enjoying a beautiful fall day downtown alongside classic cars, local food trucks, and a Rapid City Police Department K-9 demonstration.
