Like many car show events organized for charitable purposes, with proceeds going towards supporting various causes, the Garage Monkey Junkies Car Club organizes a yearly car, truck and bike show for the definitive purpose of providing monetary support to various charities, causes or meaningful organizations funded by donations that serve local and other area communities. By attending our yearly event, you not only indulge in your passion for cars while competing against other enthusiasts but also contribute to our cause and positively impact society.
Proceeds from this year's event will benefit ALL Nolan County Volunteer Fire Departments.
It may not be the first thing people think about, but having a Volunteer Fire Department to take care of your community is necessary. These departments funded primarily by donations are comprised of our neighbors and friends who volunteer hundreds of hours each year, to keep our communities protected. The commitment of these men and women to provide fire emergency services as volunteers continues to represent a tremendous savings to the taxpayers of Nolan County. Providing the tools, training and equipment necessary to save lives and protect property is an expensive task. With your help, we can help the Volunteer Fire Departments in Nolan County meet the challenge of providing the highest quality fire
service apparatus and equipment to answer calls for assistance in our communities.
The 2024 Garage Monkey Junkies Car Club – Inaugural Car, Truck and Bike Show will allow you to show off your rides and compete against other enthusiasts. 1st and 2nd Place Awards will be awarded in multiple categories and 1st place will be awarded in multiple best specialty categories! We encourage everyone and ANYTHING on wheels to come out. There's a class for everyone, and we'll have good music, delicious food, vendors, and lots of prizes.

For Your Information:
To ensure a fair playing field, we won't judge build photos/books, props/display items, or previous awards. However, feel free to showcase them!
Get ready to celebrate! Award presentations will begin around 3:00pm in front of the DJ area at the corner of Oak Street and Third Street. We'll recognize winners in each class and present special awards like Best in Show, Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine, and more. Vehicles can win within their class and one "Best Of" award, but not multiple "Best Of" awards.
Note: Garage Monkey Junkies Club vehicles will be on “display only” in a designated club area and shall not be eligible for judging or receiving awards.
The Garage Monkey Junkies Car Club is proud to facilitate the weekend car show event. We’ll be working on extending the annual car show to a two day event with a Friday night nostalgic Cruise-In on Broadway Street in Downtown Sweetwater. The City of Sweetwater and many Sweetwater businesses support this event and welcome all visitors to our historic downtown and surrounding areas.
