RADwood is the premier lifestyle event celebrating automotive culture of the '80s and '90s. The car show that blends period correct attire with killer music of the most radical era.
RADwood is an event for cars, trucks, and motorcycles from 1980-1999…and awesome people of all ages.
For our 5th annual Austin event, we’re coming back bigger and better than ever with:
DJ on stage
Expanded fashion contest
Additional awards
VIP hospitality and more!
Oh, and hundreds of rad rides, of course.
The VIP Chill Zone will feature great food and drink, a covered lounge area with a view of the stage and other attractions to kick back and enjoy throughout the day.
We'll have RAD entertainment on stage with DJ Bosshog spinning the best of the 80s and 90s. Food trucks and concessions will be open all day, too. At the end of the show, trophies will be awarded for the RADDEST Show Cars (and Motorcycle), RADDEST Accessory and the coveted RADDEST DRESSED Award- so dust off those Members Only jackets and leg warmers and go all out!
