The Crabapple Market Car Show Is An Experience Like None Other

The Crabapple Market car show is an experience like none other in Atlanta. However, to call it merely a car show is to undervalue what Ron Wallace and the city of Milton have achieved.

From its inception, this event has sought to set a high bar for those who enjoy exceptional rolling works of art. Not to say that it’s lost its profound sense of community or family/pet-friendly roots. It hasn’t.

But, it is far closer to a Concourse level offering than you might imagine.

The venue is off the main thoroughfare, conveniently tucked into a newly constructed focal point of business and upscale residences. The French Colonial business architecture provides a distinct backdrop that is naturally photogenic and serves to brand the show.

The event takes place around an area referred to as “The Green,” which is an oasis of lush, well-manicured grass. Lining the outside of “The Green” are inviting shade trees that provide a welcome respite from the sunshine.

A helpful team of neon yellow-clad marshalls conveniently answers questions while also controlling the traffic flow. And while the main attraction is the cars, a live D.J. provides a wide variety of music and banter to keep the mood light and festive.

The Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub is located at the event facilities and conveniently open for business for those in search of food, refreshments, and libations.

Combine it all, and you consistently have an experience like none other in Atlanta.

Vengeance Racing Delivers

The Crabapple Market had the latest offerings from Ferrari and other European automakers dotting the event area. Though, not to worry, American horsepower was prominently on display for all to drool over.

The USA muscle came in the form of several Corvettes which had visited Ron Mowen’s Vengeance Racing (VR) facilities in Cumming, Ga. Long regarded with reverence for their unmatched Chevrolet LS performance, Vengeance Racing has a proven reputation for performance and bulletproof reliability.

The two VR prepped Corvettes featured here produce well north of 1,000 horsepower each. One of them was a world record holder in the half-mile.

As you would expect, they drew a non-stop crowd of admirers.

Olde Blind Dog Hits The Spot

After the car show, fast becoming a tradition is lunch at the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub. This award-winning Irish pub is just a few steps away from the Crabapple Market action.

The cozy, inviting ambiance provides the perfect place to mingle with other car lovers and grab a well-deserved lunch. Speaking of food, you won’t be disappointed.

The menu has depth with authentic dishes and appetizers that always seem to hit the spot. But, of course, if you’re parched from talking about cars in the warm Georgia sun, The Olde Blind Dog has you covered there.

Their perfect pour Guinness is not to be missed, nor is the refreshing bottomless Mimosas for those needing a more traditional Sunday brunch option. However, for those in search of breakfast, fear not.

They have you covered as well.

Automotive Field of Dreams

A famous movie quote would have you believe that “if you build it, they will come.” However, we do not live in a “field of dreams,” and simply putting together an event is not enough to ensure that people will come.

With that said, the Milton community consistently comes out en mass to support this event at every opportunity. This event draws a car-savvy group that appreciates the nuances of fine automobiles.

Trust me. If you take home hardware from this show, you’ve earned it. In addition, some highly collectible automobiles are routinely displayed here that you don’t see in other Atlanta shows.

Special thanks go out to Ron Wallace and his incredible team that made this event so much fun to attend. They check off every box for participants and attendees alike.

At the end of the day, The Crabapple Market Car Show is an experience like none other.
