The Gathering at the ROC Car Show

About This Event

The Hot Rod Gathering is a celebration of classic American automotive culture set against the breathtaking backdrop of Woolaroc. This 3,700-acre wildlife preserve, originally established by renowned oilman Frank Phillips, provides an unparalleled setting for showcasing vintage hot rods and the passionate enthusiasts who cherish them. Our annual event, affectionately known as the Family Reunion, brings together discerning hot rod aficionados from across the country. Featuring meticulously restored classics, custom builds, and rare automotive gems, the Gathering offers a unique blend of history, craftsmanship, and camaraderie. While the show itself is pre-register only and often sells out quickly, we welcome spectators to join us for an unforgettable day of automotive excellence. Visitors can also participate in our thrilling reliability run, experiencing the raw power and nostalgia of these magnificent machines. Set amidst Woolaroc’s stunning natural beauty and world-class art museum, the Hot Rod Gathering is more than just a car show – it’s a journey through time, celebrating both automotive heritage and the enduring spirit of American innovation. Join us October 9th in Pawhuska, Oklahoma where the Reliability Run takes a break, and enjoys an afternoon of shopping, food and fun. Come on out October 10th at the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Reserve for the car show event that promises to ignite the passion of every hot rod enthusiast.
