The Spring Carlisle event is set to return to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds from April 22 to 26, 2026, featuring the Collector Car Auction at the neighboring Expo Center on April 23 and 24. Organizers expect over 400 vehicle consignments spanning various eras and styles. The auction highlights include a dedicated All-Truck Hour and several charitable sales benefiting local education and fire companies.
Carlisle Events has announced the revival of its Spring Carlisle gathering, scheduled for April 22 through 26, 2026, at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. This multi-day event pairs with the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction, hosted at the adjacent Carlisle Expo Center on April 23 and 24. Enthusiasts can anticipate more than 400 consignments, covering pre-war classics to modern muscle cars, all under the Carlisle Auctions' FREE UNLESS SOLD guarantee.
A key feature is the All-Truck Hour, planned for around 3:30 PM on April 23. This session focuses on trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs from different periods, including vintage pickups and recent models, providing buyers a targeted opportunity to bid.
The auction also emphasizes community support through special consignments. Students from the SUN Technical Institute in New Berlin, Pennsylvania, have constructed wheelbarrow go-karts, with all proceeds directed to their educational initiatives. Additionally, the students refurbished a 1951 Dodge, originally donated by the AACA Museum, Inc. Proceeds from its sale will fund the Carlisle Auctions’ Fund the Firehouse program and the New Berlin Fire Company.
Another charitable item is a 2008 GMC Envoy, donated to the Ickesburg Fire Company in Perry County. Its auction sale will contribute fully to the fire company's needs.
Bidding begins at 10 AM each day, with previews starting at 8 AM on April 22. Options include in-person, phone, or online participation, with advanced and online bidding available from April 20. Every registered bidder may bring a guest to the auction and the broader Spring Carlisle event. Spectator entry costs $13 at the door, with online discounts. Consignments continue to be added, and details are accessible at CarlisleAuctions.com or by calling 717-960-6400.
Carlisle Events, founded in 1974, hosts numerous annual collector car and truck gatherings at sites in Carlisle and Allentown, Pennsylvania, drawing global participants.
