Celebrate The AWESOME 1980s at the Cadillac Fall Festival
The Cadillac LaSalle Club Museum & Research Center cordially invites its patrons, members, and friends to one of the most anticipated events on the Club calendar—the 2026 Cadillac Fall Festival. This special gathering promises a perfect blend of Cadillac history, camaraderie, and competition, all set within the ambience of early autumn.
The Cadillac Fall Festival holds a unique place within the Cadillac & LaSalle Club. It is the only other national-level Cadillac focused event held outside of the Grand National, which will be hosted this year in Concord, North Carolina. For many enthusiasts, the Cadillac Fall Festival offers a more relaxed yet equally rewarding national experience—one that emphasizes both education and enjoyment.
This year’s theme, “The Awesome 1980s,” celebrates a decade defined by bold styling and technological innovation across all GM brands and Cadillac models that redefined luxury. From elegant Fleetwoods to distinctive Eldorados and Sevilles to down-sized models, the 1980s marked a pivotal chapter in automotive design and engineering. We look forward to featuring these vehicles prominently on the show field.
A highlight of the All-GM car show, the central feature of the Cadillac Fall Festival, will be the display of four 1980s concept cars provided by GM Design, including the 1988 Cadillac Voyage.

Some of the extra attractions already confirmed include:
- A special display of six GM 1954 Autorama concept cars from the Joe Bortz collection. Mr. Bortz will provide a “walk-n-talk” explanation of the cars. A seminar provided by Richard Earl, Harley Earl’s grandson, will also be provided
- Collector car rides in selected Cadillac Museum collection cars on both days
- The annual Museum Garage Sale
Registration is $35 for one car and two individuals entering a vehicle; spectator admission is $25 per person, per day—offering excellent value for all attendees. Car show entrants will be judged across 20 different judging classes, ensuring broad representation and fair competition for a wide range of Cadillacs, LaSalles and all GM marques. Entrants may also forego judging and display their GM models on the show field.
Whether you plan to show a car, support fellow enthusiasts, or simply enjoy the sights and stories, the 2026 Cadillac Fall Festival promises to be a memorable celebration of Cadillac heritage. We hope you’ll join us this September for a truly special national event.
