What is FirebirdFest and how did it start?

The FirebirdFest Experience-St. Louis 25

 

We created a unique event in St Louis and our first year was so fantastic we had 140 Firebirds!    We thought you might like to come and cruise with us and show off your Firebird, Formula, or Trans Am at our unique event held annual in May!

 

Here is a little background about our event called the St Louis FirebirdFest '24 and what we have to offer!

 

We were so tired of the same boring $30 car shows all day for a $10 trophy and we wanted to create something different!  FF 24 is for folks to come and cruise, do unique activities, events, see St. Louis area landmarks and attractions, enjoy LIVE MUSIC and so much more! 

You won’t see any trophies or serious judges at FirebirdFest!   Even though we are "on the go" from place to place all weekend, there is still time to look over all the awesome cars and make new friendships!  We don’t waste time and money on trophies and serious judging!    The FirebirdFest is to come and make friends and celebrate every Firebird, regardless of the condition!  But most important to us all, we are a huge fundraiser for many local charities here in the St Louis area! 

 

We are proud to announce that our 2025 EVENT will raise funds for FALLEN PATRIOTS.   This is a non-profit charity set up to help educate the children of those who gave their lives for our freedom.   Their parents paid the ultimate price to protect us and we want to help their transition into college without a lot of debt and stress.   

 

Please consider joining our Facebook group link below .  We work year-round to give you a national level event to attend, and we would love to have some more out of state and unique birds!   Our first event brought in 140 cars from 22 different states!   FirebirdFest was created with a purpose to help support our local community by supporting different local non-profits.   Our inaugural event helped to raise money to local First Responders, Backstoppers, and local families in need!   Our 2nd event in 2022 we raised funds to help support KIDS ROCK CANCER, a music therapy program!   2023 brought in a record donation for the Song Society!  Our 2024 donation was $10,000, that went to multiple local charities.  All in all, we have now exceeded over $40,000 donated in just 4 years!   Thanks to the support of people like you, we have made a huge difference in the lives of challenged people in our community.   Our 2025 Charity will be announced soon!
