We want The Texas Vintage Motorcycle Fandango Bike Show to be the largest public display of Vintage and Classic Motorcycles in Texas. It is solely intended to be a Shine, Show, Share and Smile Event designed specifically to allow all Vintage and Classic Motorcycle Owners the distinct pleasure to share these wonderful machines and their individual histories.
Pre-register to save time at load-in.
The Texas Fandango Vintage Chopper Show hosted by Oliver Peck will showcase some of the best custom choppers around. Located in the Chopper Corral at Texas Fandango and featuring live music, this will be an event you won’t want to miss.
Fandango Vintage Chopper Show
Registration for the Chopper Show is free with purchase of general admission wristband ($20). Active-Duty Military and Veterans receive discounted tickets when purchased at the gate ($10). Children 12 and under have free admission.
Thanks to Bear and the Whiteknuckler Brand team for creating one-off custom Texas Fandango knives. We present them to the Chopper Corral Chopper Show winners and the President's Awards.
We are pleased to announce the return of the Bicycle Chopper Show, open to participants aged 14 and under. Best of Show and People’s Choice awards will be presented. This event provides an excellent opportunity for family members to foster a child's interest in two-wheeled customization, introduce basic fabrication skills, and enjoy quality time together. While there are no specific design rules, a 1970s chopper aesthetic is suggested. Note that motorized bicycles and commercially produced "custom/chopper" bicycles are not permitted. Participants are encouraged to let their creativity guide them in designing a bicycle of any complexity, using readily available resources such as a used bicycle and banana seat. We look forward to seeing your creations at Fandango 2025.
Heartfelt congratulations to the winners, and a special thanks to all who participated.
