since 2007
Twenty years on Main Street.
A Hill Country tradition, twenty years strong.
The Fredericksburg Car Fest started in 2007 as a small gathering of local owners and their cars. Two decades later it fills historic Marktplatz and the surrounding blocks of Main Street with more than 150 classic cars and 10,000 visitors in a single Saturday.
Marktplatz sits at the center of downtown Fredericksburg, the German market square that has anchored the town since its founding. There is no better backdrop for chrome and patina than a Hill Country main street lined with shops, biergartens, and tasting rooms.
A Hill Country tradition, 20 years strong.
