" Like nothing no's where's else "
-Kenny Rogers
Where the gearheads gather and the shenanigans are allowed
DAY OF REGISTRATION ONLY $20/car
celebrating everything high octane
Sunday, 09/06, 10AM - 4PM
The Meridian Motorfest is the biggest celebration of everything High Octane hosted at High Caliber Karting & Entertainment in partnership with Greater Lansing Cars and Coffee.
Contests, prizes, trophies, kids being adorably awesome, and probably some revving engines (cough cough, dodge, cough cough)
We are gearheads and gearheads are our people. This event is a celebration of all things motorsports. This is one place where the Classics can vibe with Takeyari . We provide the space, the popsicles, the monster truck rides, the bounce houses, and contests, you provide the cars. Everything that comes out the other side goes to a local charity. Not doing this would be dumb.
THIS YEAR'S PROCEEDS BENEFIT
THE Capital Area Humane Society
Meridian Motorfest is proud to support the Capital Area Humane Society, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of companion animals throughout Mid-Michigan. Since 1936, CAHS has provided shelter, adoption services, affordable spay and neuter programs, education, and compassionate care for thousands of animals in need. As an independent organization that relies on community support, CAHS works every day to help pets find loving homes while promoting responsible pet ownership across our region.
