OUR PURPOSE AND OUR POLICIES

The FirebirdFest was created by Rod Haffer and the I-55 Firebirds Car Club, to give Pontiac Firebird owners an exciting and very unique event in the Midwest to call our own.   But it was more important to us that we also give back to our community in other ways besides bringing tourists into our local economy.   Donations collected from your 2025 registration, and also funds raised during our event, goes directly to THE FALLEN PATRIOTS, college for their children!   This includes but not limited to our Silent Auction, 50/50 raffles, and live auction items.   Your participation is greatly appreciated by all in our community and we thank you.

​

FirebirdFest 2025

PRESENTED BY THE I-55 FIREBIRDS
OF TROY, ILLINOIS

 

The I-55 Firebirds are a fun group of Pontiac Firebird lovers in the St Louis Metro area, and along I-55 Highway.  Our club began as the Troy Trans Ams as a search to find as many Trans Ams as we could in my hometown of Troy, Illinois.    After we found several cars outside of Troy, and several that were not Trans Ams, we changed our name to the I-55 Firebirds because of our location next to Interstate 55.

The I-55 Firebirds do a lot of local cruises and car shows in and around the St Louis area.    We would love to meet you and your Firebird, and experience the friendships that these classics produce!   Our signature event, started in 2021, brought in 140 Firebirds and we had 228 came in 2022!  270 Cars arrived in 2023 from 31 States, including CANADA!   We have donated just over $40,000 in just 4 years to First Responders, Community Outreach Programs, Kids Rock Cancer, The Song Society Music therapy, and many other local and national charities!    We realize there are so many less fortunate than ourselves, and we feel blessed to be able to use our cars and our club with great purpose for our community here in the St. Louis area and beyond!
