Classic cars, polished chrome, and community tradition will take center stage June 13 as the 35th Annual Parowan Fun Run Car Show returns to Parowan City Park.
Hosted by the Desert Cruzers of Las Vegas in partnership with Parowan City, the longtime event draws vehicle owners and spectators from across the region for a day celebrating classic automobiles, custom builds, and community spirit.
What began more than three decades ago has become one of Southern Utah’s signature summer car shows. Organizers say the event continues to grow each year while maintaining the friendly atmosphere that keeps participants returning.
“We look forward to this car show every year because the people put great pride into their old vehicles,” organizers said. “The public turnout is always wonderful, and it has become a tradition many families enjoy together.”
For 35 years, members of the Desert Cruzers have made the annual trip to Parowan. Organizers say many club members first discovered the community years ago and were drawn to its welcoming atmosphere, scenic setting, and small-town charm.
The show is open to all makes and models, from beautifully restored classics and muscle cars to custom trucks and unique vintage vehicles. As part of Utah’s America 250 celebrations, trophies will be awarded to standout entries throughout the event.
Beyond the vehicles themselves, the event offers plenty for families and casual visitors. Food vendors, sweet treats, games, and bounce houses will be available throughout the day, creating a festival atmosphere that appeals to all ages.
While the vehicles may be the main attraction, organizers say the event’s lasting success comes from the friendships and traditions built over the years. Many participants return annually, making the show as much a reunion as a car exhibition.
Whether you’re a lifelong car enthusiast, a collector, or simply looking for a fun summer outing, the Parowan Fun Run Car Show offers an opportunity to experience classic vehicles, meet fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy a day in one of Southern Utah’s historic communities.
The 35th Annual Parowan Fun Run Car Show takes place June 13 at Parowan City Park. Admission is free and open to the public.
