March either comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb — or vice versa. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more lamb than lion this year.
Here’s the March lineup of car and bike events to kick off the 2026 season. The first “official” outdoor car show fires up March 14 at the Miller Swap Meet and Car Show at the Ross County Fairgrounds — a sure sign that show season is officially underway.
March also brings several swap meets, an indoor motorcycle event, and plenty of morning Cars and Coffee gatherings to keep the calendar packed.
It’s time to pull the covers off, top off the tanks, and get those rides dialed in for another big season of Central Ohio events.

Hello Tom,
Thanks for sharing your event with carshowtalk.com. I've added it to the Save the Dates for 2026 page as a place holder, however, I will need a flyer with all the info about the show in order to create a link to it.
Hey Kim, happy new year! Just a heads up, we are going to have our Volksfest show this year on August the 8th, but it's going to be at Fort Hayes. If possible, please remove the listing in the Save the Dates section until I can get you the complete details with show flyer. Thanks!
