Now in its 26th year, Joe Mama's Car Show is a popular summertime event for the small, tight-knit community of Jerome, Idaho. This year, the car show will be held on August 17, 2024.

The show will be held in its typical location at Jerome City Park. Although cars are obviously the highlight of this event, even non-car enthusiasts can appreciate the wide variety of unique vehicles. Cars, live music, food, and more combine for a fantastic day of fun with family and friends.

The main car show will occur on Saturday the 17th, but festivities will begin the evening prior on Friday the 16th. After a Show and Shine, the cars will cruise to Jerome County Fair & Rodeo to take part in the famous rib eating contest.

The main show starts Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. Every year, all types of cars come out for display in Joe Mama's Car Show - cars not only from Idaho but Oregon and Nevada, as well. It's not very often you can enjoy an up-close glimpse of eccentric cars like these!

The list of categories at Joe Mama's Car Show is long, so expect to see cars of every style including low riders, convertibles, trucks, dragsters, choppers, and more. Additionally, you'll see cars from just about every decade dating back to the 1930s.

The show is also an opportunity to support local vendors, so be sure to take time to see what they have to offer. One of the best things about Joe Mama's Car Show is the support it brings into the community.
