The 38th Annual River Ranch Rod Run returns to Westgate River Ranch Resort for a full weekend of rodding action hosted by Sunshine State Rodding News. Open to rods, customs, classics, and street machines, the event features a multi-day gathering with over 500 vehicles participating in past years.

Festivities kick off on Friday evening with event registration and a welcome party on the field featuring free soda, popcorn, cash giveaways, and an outdoor movie alongside DJ Rockin’ Rich Bedford. Saturday opens with morning registration followed by the main car show and swap meet/flea market running through late afternoon.

Vehicle entry is $20 for advance mail-in pre-registration postmarked by January 24, 2027, or $25 on-site day of show (cash or check only; no online registrations accepted). Dash plaques are presented to the first 600 participants, along with door prizes, cash drawings, and specialty awards including Rodding News Pick, Long Distance, Club Participation, and Hard Luck honors.
