10th Anniversary Rockin' Billy Bash

Be sure to come out to the 2025 show and check out the 10th Annual Rockin' Billy Bash! A celebration of the spirit of the traditional Rod and Kustom kulture, as well as the do-it-yourself attitude that everyone can relate with. We'll have pinstripers, tattoo artists, rock n' roll and more throughout the entire weekend. Got a business that's geared toward the greasers and pinups? We'll have room in the area for vendors to setup as well.

Also, if your car personifies what the Rockin' Billy Bash is all about, perhaps you'll take home a trophy as a part of the newfound "Dirty Dozen"! By no means a trophy for the prettiest or best, but instead an indictment to the twelve cars that truly display what the old school Rod and Kustom kulture is all about.
