This free, three-day festival is open to the public and will include
activities for all ages. The event kicks off Friday night with Friday
Night Lights, featuring a cruise-in, live DJ, games, and food trucks!
Saturday and Sunday include FREE Vehicles given away every 2 hours to
the general public! Drawings for a total of 10 free vehicles to be
given away to lucky Carfest attendees who must be present to win.
Kids events and activity area, How-To Clinics, Retail Shopping, and

BBQ Cook-Off Competition awarding the “Best of” categories for
brisket, pork spare ribs, and chicken, plus a Chili-Cook-off!
Coming back this year for ages 15-17 in 2020, the CarFest New
Driver’s Workshop! Teens get to learn some basic car knowledge, use
the distracted driving simulators and play New Driver Jeopardy! Every
teen that attends this workshop will get a chance to win a free
vehicle!
During Carfest, some of San Antonio’s top automotive repair
facilities volunteer their time to repair 25 vehicles for preselected
car repair recipients nominated through regional charitable
organizations. Working alongside the professionals, automotive
students from local schools will learn job-related skills and gain
hands-on experience.
In addition, Boy Scouts will have an opportunity on-site to pursue an
Automotive Maintenance Merit badge. CarFest will award Trade Schools a
total of nearly $100,000 in cash and equipment.
