Other April Events with Classic Car Shows Around Austin

Rattan Creek Crawfish & Cars – April 21 – Live music, crawfish, beer and activities are the major part of this festival, but there will also be a classic car show this year. The event is located at Rattan Creek Park and costs $10/$15 per person, depending on whether or not you are a Rattan Creek Neighborhood Association member. Discounted family pricing is also available.
Cars + Cookies Steiner Ranch – April 29 – This monthly community car show is held at the Steiner Ranch Randall Shopping Plaza. There will also be vendors at this mini-festival. We think that spectators are free (or only need to pay a goodwill donation), but it is $5 to show a car. Proceeds go to local school organizations.
