Carlisle Events - Event Details
<strong>CARLISLE PA FAIRGROUNDS • </strong>Come to the largest all-Ford show in the world which features Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Euro Fords on the 3,200+ National Parts Depot Showfield.

TRS has decided to move our presence from the Truck Nationals to the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA.
The 2025 event is on June 6-8, 2025.
The Carlisle Fairgrounds is just off the PA Turnpike near Harrisburg.
Friday and Saturday are the big days, very few people stay for Sunday.
Registration:
This is important, in the online registration you MUST go to the drop-down for clubs and select The Ranger Station as your club. This fine for any RBV, Explorers, Bronco II's, Sport Tracs. If you register by phone, tell them you are with The Ranger Station.
There is no additional cost for registering as a member of The Ranger Station. We need at least 15 people to register so we can get the club tent from Carlisle.
Carlisle gives a discount for early registration until about mid-April. Register in the proper Ranger class, there is one for 1982-2011 and one for 2019-2025.
Camping and Hotels:
There are many hotels nearby although they charge more on event weekends. Information is on Carlisle's website. Carlisle offers camping two blocks away at additional cost. Last year it was $65 for Thursday thru Sunday. Add that on your registration and they will send you an extra sticker for the campground. It is fine for tents and trailers but does not have facilities other than porta johns. There is a bathhouse inside the fairgrounds at the car wash area. Personally I do the Fairgrounds camping.
There is a full service campground nine miles straight down the road called the Deer Run Campground. We have stayed there for the Truck Nationals.
If your rig is trailered they offer a trailer parking area at a small additional cost.
Other:
This isn't just for trucks. It's for ALL Fords!
Besides Fords of all kinds, there is a huge area for parts and accessories vendors.
Monster truck rides and Vaughn Gitten Jr. from RTR Motorsports is usually there doing a drifting exhibition.
Restoration and parts houses doing displays and workshops.
Sponsor midway where you can look at and buy wheels, tires, exhaust, tunes, car wax, etc.
