This free, family-friendly event transforms the streets of Rahway into a celebration of classic cars, motorcycles, live music, local vendors, and community spirit.

Hot Rods & Harleys draws thousands of visitors each year to admire hundreds of vintage hot rods, muscle cars, choppers, and custom motorcycles lined up throughout the downtown streets. It’s a must-attend day for car enthusiasts, collectors, and music lovers too!

Beyond the cars and bikes, the event features multiple live music stages with performances from local bands and musicians, filling the streets with energy and entertainment. Visitors can also shop from local vendors and artisans, explore a wide variety of food trucks and beer gardens, and enjoy fun activities for all ages.

Downtown Rahway’s restaurants, bars, and businesses will be open all day, offering special deals and outdoor seating for guests to relax and soak in the festive atmosphere.

Hot Rods & Harleys is hosted by Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe, the Rahway City Council, the Rahway Special Improvement District, and U4 Guys and supported by local sponsors and businesses who make this signature event possible year after year. Whether you’re a longtime attendee or checking it out for the first time, this event is the perfect way to kick off the warm weather season and experience everything Rahway has to offer.

Mark your calendars — engines start at 11 AM and the fun continues until 7 PM. Admission is free and all are welcome!
