If you love classic trucks and you’re anywhere near North Carolina, you need to clear your schedule for this weekend. The C10 Fall Revival is going down this Friday and Saturday, October 17-18, and it has become the biggest get-together of classic trucks in the Southeast for a reason.

Forget the boring fairground asphalt. This show happens at Denton FarmPark, a cool historical park with old-school restored buildings like a general store and blacksmith shop, and even a steam train that runs around the property. That unique backdrop is a huge part of the vibe, and the event has grown like crazy because of it.

What started with about 230 trucks has blown up to over 2,000 rolling in last year, and this weekend is expected to be even bigger.

But here’s the best part about the C10 Fall Revival show: admission is totally free. Seriously. The organizers, Auto Metal Direct (AMD), treat it like a church revival—you don’t pay at the gate, but they do ask for donations. And that money goes to a good cause. In 2024, the truck community raised an amazing $61,132 for local charities, including the Ronald McDonald House. It’s a chance to hang out with fellow truck lovers while helping out people in need.

Even if you’re just now hearing about it, there are still ways to go. The park has over 400 campsites, and there are local hotels that work with the show. It’s the kind of show where you can walk for hours and still not see everything, with rows and rows of classic American steel sparkling in the fall sun. The combination of the cool venue, the insane number of trucks, and the feel-good mission is what makes the C10 Fall Revival so special. It’s one of the best shows on the East Coast for a reason.
