The single class winners will have all sorts of cars entering, from Fan Favorite and best in show, to more silly categories like Most Likely to Break Down or Furthest Distance Traveled. There will be six contests throughout the event: Loudest Exhaust, Loudest Stereo, Most Articulation, Most Power via a mobile Dyno, Biggest Fireball, and a Car Limbo.

Car lovers of all ages will enjoy the Meridian Motorfest, entry opens at 4 PM, and the festival will end at 9. As it will be hosted in High Caliber’s parking lot, the entertainment facility will also be offering their All Access Day Pass at a discount of $50 to enjoy all the activities that are available in High Caliber Karting. 

“The Meridian Motorfest was started in 2021 to open up an opportunity for people to start gathering in an outdoor space after Covid rocked the automotive community gatherings,” stated Committee President, Jordan Munsters. “Automotive groups have helped people learn skills, connect, and keep the youth busy and out of trouble. The community of car enthusiasts are a global family that has roots running deep. With gatherings shut down, those within this community felt lost. Connection was missing in their lives. Our first year of this festival, we had people in tears seeing one another for the first time in over a year. Seeing people go from isolation to laughing with their friends at the activities all while raising money for a local charity made it a no brainer to continue this event year after year.”

People looking to register their car for any classes or contests can do so online right here, all profits made from the Meridian Motorfest will be donated to the Sparrow Foundation’s Dapper Dads Challenge which helps raise funds in support of the physical and psychological health of women in mid-Michigan. Cash donations will be accepted the day of the event. The show is free to attend. Those looking to exhibit can register their rides at www.meridianmotorfest.com.
