Guests can enjoy:
- Interactive games and activities - A custom souvenir hat station - Bronco Wild Fund educational experiences focused on stewardship and outdoor access - Free giveaways and family fun - A chance to enter to win a 2026 Ford Bronco® Big Bend®
One of the largest automotive gatherings in the region, the International Car Show features 18 distinct displays and nearly 3,000 vehicles spread throughout Schenley Park. Display your Bronco on the scenic Bob O'Connor Golf Course and enjoy a full day of vintage racing on Pittsburgh's only wheel-to-wheel street circuit.
Bronco Wild Fund Basecamp will be located on the fairway along Schenley Drive, directly across from the entrance to the Bob O'Connor Golf Course.
Sunday - July 19 Guided Bronco Drive Registration is free, but advance registration is required. Your registration confirmation will include a QR code required for entry to the display area. Registration closes at midnight, July 17. Sunday participants are invited to take part in a special Guided Bronco Adventure Drive departing Basecamp at 12:30 PM. Please arrive at the display well in advance - you can arrive as early as 8:00 AM.
This exclusive experience begins with a quarter-mile drive on the actual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix race course before heading onto Schenley Park's historic Bridle Trail. Once reserved for horseback riders winding through the park's wooded hillsides, the 1.4-mile trail now offers a rare opportunity to experience your Bronco in a natural setting in the heart of Pittsburgh.
The route continues along Overlook Drive to the Vietnam Veterans Pavilion, overlooking the famous haybale chicane on the track and providing one of the best vantage points to watch Sunday's feature races.
