Car Enthusiasts, Shoppers to Converge at Bel Air Drive-In

Shop this Labor Day weekend and step back in time at the Big-M Bash, held at the old Bel Air Drive-In.

The Pistons Street Rods of Aberdeen are hosting a car show, car cruise and swap meet at the old Bel Air Drive-In, which operated from the 1950s until it closed in 2005.

The street rods invite the public to “relive the good ole days” and bring the family for “outdoor wholesome fun” on Saturday, where classic car culture and history will be on display at the site of the old drive-in theater.

There will be prizes for the cars, like best interior and best engine, as well as door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, t-shirts for the Big-M Bash, live music and food from Towne Grill & Pub.

Vehicles cost $5 or $10 for the judged show and vendors pay $50 for swap meet spots.

Proceeds will benefit the Custom and Classic Car Educational Foundation.

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5. The Big-M Bash, car cruise, car show and swap meet will be held next to the post office on Route 22, at 2931 Churchville Rd, Churchville, MD 21028.
