Automobile manufacturing took place in Kenosha for more than 100 years. The Kenosha History Center celebrates the area’s industrial history — including how Kenosha’s auto-making legacy shaped history through the 20th century — both inside its museum and through events like this one.
The Kenosha Homecoming Car Show is a signature event in the Kenosha Area. It is a much-anticipated experience for AMC and other made-in-Kenosha car collectors.
The Kenosha History Center produces the Kenosha Homecoming Car Show. Typically held every three years, the show will be held July 26-31. A series of events will take place at various locations. The big car show/swap meet is on Saturday, July 30 at the beautiful Kennedy Park on the Lake Michigan shore.
There were close to 1,000 cars on display and over 230 vendors in 2017, when the show was last held.
There is no larger AMC show in the world. The Kenosha History Center recommends cars and swap meet vendors to preregister for the show. Registrations can be found on the History Center website and can be mailed or dropped off in person to the Kenosha History Center. Cars and Vendors can also register the day of the show at Kennedy Park.
