With a growing calendar of car auctions, shows and events, the destination offers unique experiences for auto connoisseurs and, of course, those eager to share impressive car content on their social channels. A sampling of upcoming and ongoing automotive events in Kissimmee include:

• Mecum Kissimmee – Jan. 4-15, 2023: Mecum Kissimmee 2023 hosted by Mecum Auctions, the world's largest collector-car auction, returns to Osceola Heritage Park this January 4-15 with American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, exotics, trucks, Hot Rods, customs and more set to cross the auction block. A 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Center Seat, a 1936 Bugatti Type 57 and a 1965 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster will headline The Rick Grant III Estate Collection, and the impressive group also includes a variety of other well-preserved classic sports cars from Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Austin-Healey, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, MG and others.

• Old Town Car Shows & Cruises: Reminiscent of a classic Florida town, Old Town Kissimmee boasts historic architecture, distinctive storefronts and weekly car shows. Its appreciation for timeless cars starts mid-week with the Wednesday Night Themed Car Show, featuring a rotating selection of vintage vehicles ranging from classic Fords to Jeeps and trucks. Each weekend, the Friday Muscle Car Show & Cruise spotlights muscle and performance cars produced from 1964 and newer and classics from 1983 and older. For the vintage at heart, there is the Saturday Classic Car Show & Cruise, a local tradition for more than 30 years, that welcomes show-quality 1985 and older hotrods, street rods and antiques.

• Promenade at Sunset Walk Car & Truck Shows: Offering a weekly schedule of special events, the Promenade at Sunset Walk entertainment district has quickly become a hotspot for car enthusiasts. Vehicles from all eras, makes and models are regularly on display during Show Car Saturday Nights, held Saturdays from 4-8 p.m., and during The Promenade Car and Truck Show, held on the second Sunday of every month from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The Promenade car community also gives back in a major way during holiday-themed events throughout the year, including Santa's Toy Drive Car & Truck Show taking place on Dec. 11.
