Salt Lake City, UT – Get ready for supercharged automotive excitement as FuelFest 2025 rolls into the Utah State Fairpark on Saturday, August 16th. 

FuelFest claims to be much more than a car show. Rather, it’s a full-blown festival of cars where fans don’t just observe, they experience. Besides a fantastic lineup of muscle cars, customs, imports, exotics, and track weapons, guests can expect live drift demos, expo-type displays, live music, and celebrity energy. 

Founded by actor Cody Walker, brother of Fast & Furious star Paul Walker, FuelFest celebrates global car communities. The show travels nationally and internationally while tapping into local car scenes. Attendees can expect celebrity appearances, a live stage, and exclusive builds that go way beyond a typical car meet.
