Owensboro Fall Fest Cruise-In Has a New Location

Get ready for one of the biggest auto events of the fall season! The 9th Annual Fall Fest Cruise-In for St. Jude is coming back to Owensboro, and this year there’s a big change. The popular event is moving to a new location while continuing its mission of raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

One of My Favorite Events Is Back!

One of my favorite events of the year is returning to Owensboro this fall, and I am always excited to see what this crew has planned. The 9th Annual Fall Fest Cruise-In for St. Jude will bring together cars, trucks, jeeps, and motorcycles for a day of fun, fellowship, and fundraising for an incredible cause.

And this year, they have a NEW location!

Another Incredible Year of Fundraising for St. Jude

The folks behind this event have been working hard to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and last year's fundraising results were incredible.

Between the Bluegrass Legends Experience Car Show and the St. Jude Fall Festival, the team raised an amazing $61,000 for St. Jude. That more than doubled the previous year's total!

Now, organizers are gearing up to make this year's event even bigger and bring even more support to the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude.
