Doors open at 8 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and the event ends at 4 p.m. The event will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.
The Turkey Run is the largest combined collector car show, swap meet and car corral in the U.S., according to its official website.
The event was created in 1974 after Stu Sarjeant and his then 5-year-old son were denied entry at the 1973 Ormond Beach AACA Gaslight Parade on Thanksgiving as hot rods were not permitted.
Sarjeant and his friends created the Turkey Run so his son could have his “own parade.”
Currently, the event is held on Thanksgiving and the last weekend of March, with more than 5,000 show cars on display and 1,200 for sale.
Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased here.
