The 50th anniversary season of Carlisle Events was years in the planning and months in executing. From April to October, the history of the company was on full display and celebrated by thousands as records fell and guests within the automotive community were entertained. While there were many great moments throughout, the best was saved for last with Fall Carlisle driven by Hemmings. The flagship event took place Oct. 2 to 6 at the Carlisle Fairgrounds (Carlisle, Pa.), and between the car corral, automotive flea market, and collector car auction, there was something for everyone, regardless of their age. The gates opened at 7 a.m. on day one and from then through the end, the thrill of the hunt was on full display with vendors and pickers alike for as far as the eye could see. In fact, the grounds were a sea of car parts, collectibles, toys, signage, memorabilia, and more. Beyond that, the car corral hosted over 600 classics, all for sale by owner. Another great feature of Fall Carlisle 2024 was the Carlisle Corner in Building T. This area, staffed by the Carlisle Events team, highlighted memorabilia spanning the history of Carlisle Events, a trio of show cars owned by Bill Miller and Lance Miller, and some overstock merchandise for sale. With vendors being the backbone of every event at Carlisle, its only fitting that the events last night ended with a vendor appreciation dinner. Speaking of vendors, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, some of them as well as hopeful shoppers were unable to attend, creating some voids on the grounds. Those voids served as a visual reminder to those in attendance that while they were having fun shopping and selling, others were in need. With those impacted in mind, area Lions Club members, who have been part of select events for the past three years, solicited donations for disaster relief and took in over $6,300. While the 2024 season has concluded, plans are already underway for 2025. Season passes are currently on sale for $89.99, the annual holiday sale is planned for Black Friday through Jan. 2, and the first event of the new year is right around the corner with Auto Mania (Jan. 17 to 19) at the Allentown Fairgrounds.
