Road Trip to Lakeland for the Lake Mirror Car Show & Concours!
The Mid-Florida Auto Show & Lake Mirror Concours is a wonderful display of more than 750 show vehicles surrounding the restored, 1920s art deco-inspired Lake Mirror Promenade in Downtown Lakeland. Now in its 26th year (2026), the show is considered one of the “must attend” collector car shows in the southeastern United States. The 3-day event includes multiple experiences that you can participate in with your car or attend as a spectator.
Friday: Friday morning we’ll leave for Lakeland and arrive with ample time to relax and freshen up before the evening’s reception and dinner at Harry’s. After dinner you can walk to the first part of the show, the Hot Rod Rendezvous.
Saturday: The Concours and City Streets Shows both start on Saturday morning and run to around 4:00 PM in the afternoon. After the shows (at 5:00PM) we’ll walk to our lakeside dinner at the Texas Cattle Company and then you can return to the hotel at your leisure.
Sunday: Sunday morning you can participate in the Scavenger Hunt Rally or return home directly after breakfast. If you registered your car to compete in any of the shows, please be mindful of the schedule they give you for check-in and attendance.
