Gulf Coast Classic

Everyone will come from all over to be a part of the festival that has so much artistic expressions in one location! The love and dedication that all of the participants put in to their art will be here for the world to see. From Kustom cars to classic bikes. From Hot Rods to rat rods. From tuners to kustom bikes. From off road trucks to low-rider cars scraping the pavement. From the most muscle that a car can handle to the cruisers of time past. From the classic pin-up to the progressive tattoo pin-up models that we see today. From the rock-a-billy to the psycho-billy and classic rock bands and many more live acts will be here to share in the artistic expressions of over 150 of the best body artist that the region has to offer and we welcome artist from all over the world. This will be the best blend of what the Gulf Coast has become. No longer are the artistic creations, from musicians, body artist, car and bike owners looked as sub culture. This is what the Gulf Coast Is, and it is prevalent in the festival that everyone will come to know and love to attend for decades to come! Not Just your average car show or beauty contest. Not just your average body art exhibition. Not just your average bike rally or concert. This is the Gulf Coast Classic and will be known for what is vibrant and full of color and diversity in the Gulf Coast!
