Fall Carlisle 2025 Offers Five Gloriously Sunny Days to Shop all Things Automotive

Carlisle, PA – The event that started it all for the Miller families, Fall Carlisle, is also the event that wraps up each season in Carlisle, PA. That trend continued for the 52nd time October 1-5, as this year’s offering, driven by Hemmings.com, welcomed guests from around the world, all seeking the thrill of the hunt and a diverse gallery of all things automotive in advance of winter project season.

Though gates opened Wednesday the 1st for the first time to officially start the show, business was happening by Monday as vendors set up and patronized each other. Within the automotive flea market and car corral, thousands of vendors moved great automotive-themed items. Pieces and parts deemed original, new old stock, aftermarket, and more were available, as were collectibles and memorabilia best suited for a garage, man cave, or shop. Classic cars were the rage too, with over 500 lacing the east end of the grounds between fence lines as part of the car corral.

Along with the car parts and collectibles, there was no shortage of amazing builds by way of shop art peppered around the grounds. Beyond that, the “car stuff” wasn’t all that was for sale, as there were non-automotive, or Anymotive, options too. This included bikes, motorcycles, boats, coolers on wheels, and more.  There was even an “Oasis” for even more practical items for around the home.

New this year, Fall Carlisle welcomed a vendor known as the Crazy Lamp Lady, a social media personality and Carlisle-area local. Her booth in Building T showcased a variety of antiques, collectibles, and other items that got the attention of those shopping the hall. In addition, another new feature was Carlisle Auctions’ 10 AM start time and its all-Import hour. The auction welcomed 400+ consignments spanning more than 110 years of production history and not only hosted the import hour but a variety of lots that sold to benefit great causes like local first responders via Fund the Firehouse and Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue.  At its conclusion, the auction saw more than $5.5 million in total sales, with a greater than 50% sell-through rate.

There were also some extra special happenings on Saturday of Fall Carlisle as vendors came together with Carlisle Events staff for the popular vendor dinner. This get-together of Carlisle die-hards helped wrap up the night with fellowship, camaraderie, comments from Bill Miller (co-founder of Carlisle Events), door prizes, and food.

Fall Carlisle, and automotive event season for that matter, may have concluded in Carlisle for the year, but in just a few short months, the Carlisle staff will be back at it, hosting Auto Mania within the Agri-Plex Building at the Allentown Fairgrounds (January 16-18), followed by Spring Carlisle (April 22-26). Learn more about these and other great events online at CarlisleEvents.com, and don’t forget, the annual Holiday Sale kicks off on Friday, November 28, runs through January 5, and offers a variety of discounted savings in advance of the 2026 season.
