This year the City of Countryside is hosting a great all-day event celebrating the 100 year anniversary of 'Route 66'. Showcase Classics is proud to be a part of this festival. This is our 25th year for Showcase, and what a great way to start this 2026 summer event schedule.

We thank the IUOE Operating Engineers Local 150 for donating their huge parking lot facility. Registration will begin at 8am and close promptly at noon when we play our national anthem. DJ Mike will be taking over and entertaining us with music & trivia. The judges will be on the field judging until complete.

There will be a main stage featuring no less than 4 bands starting around 4PM near the food court & beer tent area. Food truck & beer garden will feature many different items for you.

This event is so special to us that the trophies turned out spectacular. Show car entrance is located at the Northside of 150 building off of Joliet Road. 'ABSOULTLEY NO SAVING SPOTS' You will need to arrive together, and be in line together, to park together. This will be 'STRICTLY ENFORCED' (NO exceptions).

Liz Cordova has worked tremendously hard to make this a great event. I want to thank her for all she has does for the City, and for inviting Showcase to be a part of this.

Definitely a DON’T MISS EVENT!

Once again we are really excited about hosting this event for all our fellow car owners. The show is located on a beautiful grass field in Northlake at 400 N. Wolf Road. This festival includes a carnival so make sure to bring the kids. Plenty of food, fun, and activities. Carnival opens in afternoon.

The Kiwanis club will host a $5 breakfast at the nearby Veterans center building just south of the carnival. It will be well worth the money and for a great cause. They will be serving from 8am until Noon and plan on offering a delivery service.

DJ Mike will be on hand with games, trivia and prizes for your entertainment. We will have a special prize for our ‘Bob’s Shotgun Bingo’ and of course everyone’s favorite ‘Deal or No Deal’ game. This will be a Don’t Miss Event for Showcase. Hope you can make it.
