Adults aren’t the only ones who can get behind the wheel. Our special Kids Track will give children the opportunity to hop into a ride and roll around the track with the wind in their hair as they drive their future dream cars.

Gamers unite! The Alamo City Game Truck will be ready to rock at the Show. With a break from the cars and trucks, you can hop into the game truck itself to get a little gaming in right from the Show floor. This truck rocks and will give you some time with the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch to give your legs a rest from traversing around the floor.

The bikers for good from Guardians of the Children will grace the floor with their presence once again. With their biggest, baddest bikes, this crew will be on site to show off the two-wheeled wonders, while talking about their very important cause of supporting kids and teens who have been impacted by abuse. Their organization and the hearts that drive the mission are even more impressive than the bikes that will be on display. Come experience both!

Must love dogs…and cats! Subaru is coming back with our favorite furry friends and partnering up with local pet adoption organizations to help find forever homes for those pups and kittens who need a permanent residence across the San Antonio region. Come see these sweet cuddly creatures, and if you’re in the market, be prepared to take one home with you.
