THE RIDING BIG CAR SHOW + MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1998 IN THE CITY OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA BY DARRON SPENCER, CEO OF DAWGMAN ENTERTAINMENT & BLACK LAKE PRODUCTION. BOASTING AN ATTENDANCE RECORD OF ABOUT 8,000-10,000 PEOPLE PER YEAR, THE CAR SHOW CONTINUES TO SEE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH. THE DEMOGRAPHICS CONSIST OF AN URBAN CROWD RANGING FROM 12 YEARS TO 55 YEARS OLD. THE LIVE PERFORMANCES, THE FOOD, THE CARS, AND THE ACTIVITIES ARE ALL REASONS THAT GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE SOUTH COME OUT TO ENJOY THE RIDING BIG CAR SHOW.
About
WITH AN ENTRY COUNT OF MORE THAN 200 SHOW CARS PER YEAR THAT THRIVE TO PARTICIPATE, IT’S CLEAR THAT PARTICIPANTS ARE EAGER TO COMPETE. THE CATEGORIES CONTINUE TO GROW EACH AND EVERY YEAR, RANGING FROM “BEST PAINT” TO “THE #1 STUNNER” (BEST IN SHOW) TO “BEST AUDIO” AND WITH ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT THESE CARS BRING TO THE EVENT – IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT THE RIDING BIG CAR SHOW HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOWS IN SOUTH FL FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. PARTICIPANTS RANGE FROM CELEBRITY CARS AND REGULAR CAR FANATICS TO WELL-KNOWN CAR CLUBS AND BIKE CLUBS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES. SOME OF THE PAST CELEBRITY SHOW CAR ENTRIES INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, ROY JONES JR., WARREN SAPP, DERRICK BROOKS, DARRELL ARMSTRONG, CHUCKY ATKINS, PLIES, TRICK DADDY, CHRIS JOHNSON, AND MARQUIS DANIELS. NEARLY EVERY KIND OF CAR IS ON DISPLAY TO BE JUDGED. FROM CLASSIC, DOMESTICS, IMPORTS, AND EVEN BIKES!
ONE OF THE CAR SHOW HIGHLIGHTS IS THE ENTERTAINMENT THAT IT BRINGS. PREVIOUS HOSTS CONSIST OF NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO HOST BIG TIGGER, FORMERLY ON BET’S RAP CITY, AND SPRING BLING; 106 AND PARK’S VERY OWN BOW WOW, AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL COMEDY STAR ROLAND “LIL DUVAL” POWELL. MANY WELL-KNOWN ARTISTS HAVE ALSO TAKEN PART IN THE EVENT BY BLESSING THE STAGE SUCH AS SEAN KINGSTON, LUDACRIS, PLIES, RAE SREMMURD, MAVADO, RICH HOMIE QUAN, KODAK BLACK, TEE GRIZZLEY, CITY GIRLS, BALL GREEZY, RICK ROSS, FUTURE, TRINA, TRICK DADDY, YOUNG JEEZY JUST TO NAME A FEW. SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES INCLUDE SOME OF THE NBA, NFL & MLB ATHLETES.
IN ADDITION TO CREATING A FUN-FILLED AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES ATTENDEES WITH AN ADDITIONAL ENTERTAINMENT OUTLET DURING FLORIDA CLASSIC WEEKEND, THE RIDING BIG CAR SHOW RAISES MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR LOWER-CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS “PEACE IN THE HOOD INC.” AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW EACH YEAR, WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE TO SHARE OUR SUCCESS!
