Annual Queen Wilhelmina Rod Run

Aug
21–23

Join in the fun as 200 street rods and hot rods descend on the small quaint town of Mena, Arkansas in the Ouachita Mountains. Restored and modified hot rods will be displayed in the park campground by clubs and individuals. Hear the low growl of the engines and see your reflection in the spit-shined exteriors.

You won’t want to miss out on this 3-Day event, complete with a street dance on the main drag. The winding mountain road leading up to Queen Wilhelmina Lodge, our “Castle in the Sky”, will put your car and your driving through its paces. We offer three chances to Show-N-Shine, and numerous prizes and trophies. 46 years running and not slowing down yet.
