The automotive events at Carlisle are affordable family fun for those who purchase a spectator admission ticket.  There aren’t many entertainment venues that offer $10-$20 admission tickets (depending on the event) that in turn allow upwards of 10 hours of entertainment once on-site.  In addition, with kids 12 and under admitted for FREE, bringing a family of four to a Carlisle car show is, hands down, one of the best “bang for the buck” options in central PA.

What was already super affordable is now even more so with special online-only discount pricing on tickets for the Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals, Carlisle GM Nationals, and Fall Carlisle.  These three shows take place May 12-13, June 23-24, and September 27-October 1 respectively, and each offers a variety of historic automotive displays, parts shopping, activities, etc.  Further, they carry an in-person ticket cost of $13 (IPN), $12 (GM), and $13 (Fall) per event.  Now, with the “Sweetheart of a Deal” Valentine’s Day Promotion, those prices which are already discounted online by $2 get an extra dollar’s savings between February 13 and two weeks before the event itself. 

Those savings mean that a spectator coming to Carlisle for Import & Performance Nationals is paying just $10 for admission between February 13 and May 1.  Admission to the Carlisle GM Nationals is just $9 between February 13 and June 12 and a ticket to Fall Carlisle to shop the massive automotive flea market is just $10 between February 13 and September 18.  Spectator tickets must be purchased online within the promotional period to receive this discount.  Click on “Tickets & Gift Cards” on the website home page and then click on “Buy Tickets” under the specific event header.  The discount will automatically be applied within the purchase transaction during the promotional time period, which begins Monday, February 13.  Online spectator admission prices for these three events return to their original prices two weeks preceding each event.

Other events on the Carlisle car show schedule also have discounts in place, either by way of standard online ticket purchases or in person by showcasing a valid military ID (ID holder only).  In addition, events offer a spectator ticket purchase option that includes parking, and all-new in 2023, Carlisle Events gift cards.

It’s easy to see why families from near and far travel to Carlisle.  Not only are the car shows great family fun, but they are educational too with decades of past, present, and future classics on display.  There are also parts, toys, collectibles, merchandise, and more for sale within the automotive flea market.  Save time by skipping the lines, save money by buying online, and spend an enjoyable day out with friends and family at Carlisle in 2023 and beyond.  Learn more online at CarlisleEvents.com or by calling 717-243-7855.  Don’t delay…Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and of course, the Carlisle Events season schedule starts April 19 with Spring Carlisle.

Summertime means sun, fun, and outdoor excitement for many in and around central Pennsylvania.  It also means the return of car show excitement by way of Carlisle Events at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.  Annually, Carlisle Events employs some 200 part-timers and will be looking to add to that roster as part of a two-day job fair, February 24-25 within the Carlisle Events offices. 

The job fair runs 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday the 24^th and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday the 25^th and is open to all potential applicants ages 14 and up.  Would-be workers are invited to stop in to apply for a variety of job opportunities.  Jobs range from part-time with the security team to gate workers, ticket takers, customer service, facilities, and more.  Multiple shifts are available too, though a majority of the employment carries primary hours during car show set up, tear down, and/or event weekends between April and October.  On-the-spot hiring may take place.  Candidates are encouraged to bring two forms of ID and be prepared to fill out an application in person at the job fair.  Applications are also available online at CarlisleEvents.com/careers.  The Carlisle Fairgrounds is located at 1000 Bryn Mawr Rd. on the north side of Carlisle, just off Route 34.  Turn at the light and follow the signs for the job fair and the Carlisle offices.

In addition to working outdoors and being around some of the coolest cars and trucks on the planet, would-be hires also have access to the following:

• FREE admission to events before and/or after shift
• FREE employee meal with your shift (up to an $8 value)
• FREE snacks and drinks throughout your shift
• FREE work shirt and hat provided
• FREE parking within close proximity to the facility
• Annual employee appreciation party
• Flexible scheduling opportunities may exist
• Competitive wages

These opportunities exist in a fast-paced, live event environment.

Applicants must be at least 14 years of age for consideration and if in school, would need applicable work permits once hired.  These jobs are great for a student looking for their first work-related experiences, a retiree looking to stay busy, or anyone in between. 

The first large-scale car show at Carlisle is Spring Carlisle and its two-day collector car auction powered by Carlisle Auctions.  The spring events run in conjunction with one another, as Spring Carlisle takes place April 19-23 at the fairgrounds, while the auction takes place April 20-21 at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center.  Complete schedule information is available at CarlisleEvents.com and job fair-specific questions can be fielded at 717-243-7855 x111.
