Calling all car enthusiasts in North Carolina and beyond! The annual Sandhills Motoring Expo is gearing up for another exciting year this Memorial Day Weekend (May 24th-26th) in the Village of Pinehurst. This three-day festival is a must-attend for anyone who loves classic cars, exotic automobiles, and everything in between. We at Pinehurst Hyundai are proud to be a longtime supporter of the Expo, and will be sponsoring the Friday Block Party on May 24th this year.

The centerpiece of the Expo is on Sunday: the prestigious Concours in the Village. Over 170 unique and meticulously selected cars will line the streets of Pinehurst, competing for top honors in 20 different classes. From vintage beauties to modern marvels, prepare to be dazzled by the finest automotive creations.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! The Expo offers a variety of events throughout the weekend to keep car fanatics entertained. Here’s a quick glimpse:

  • Block Party: Kick-off the festivities on Friday evening with a block party at the Pine Crest Inn. Enjoy delicious local fare while mingling with fellow car enthusiasts.

  • Hangar Soiree: Wrap up the Expo in style with an elegant evening at the Moore County Airport. This exclusive event features a catered dinner by Elliott’s on Linden, alongside a display of exotic cars and airplanes.

The Sandhills Motoring Expo is more than just a car show; it’s a celebration of the automobile’s rich heritage and enduring passion.
