Bucktoberfest Car Show Presented By Jeff Belzer’s

Minnesota’s car-show season may be winding down, but Buck Hill gave us one more reason to get together before the cars get tucked away for winter.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, the inaugural Bucktoberfest Car Show brought the automotive side of Buck Hill’s new fall festival to Burnsville. Jeff Belzer’s was proud to be the presenting sponsor, bringing our love of cars and community to an afternoon that went beyond the show field.

Watch the recap video above, then take a look back at the cars, festival activities, and details that made the first Bucktoberfest its own kind of fall gathering.

A First Look Back at Bucktoberfest

If you followed Buck Hill’s Weekly Wheels Car + Bike Meets over the summer, Bucktoberfest offered another way to celebrate that enthusiast spirit. This time, the car show shared the afternoon with a full fall festival.

That combination is what made the event more than a stop on the car-show calendar. The cars gave enthusiasts a reason to come out, while the chairlift rides and Vendor Village offered more to explore around the hill.

The Car Show at Buck Hill

The car show was the automotive centerpiece of Bucktoberfest, and the setting gave it a character all its own. With Buck Hill as the backdrop, the show field brought car culture into the middle of the fall festivities.

For us, that’s the appeal of a day like this: taking a closer look at the vehicles, appreciating the work behind them, and sharing that interest with other people who understand why a car is never just a way to get from one place to another.

Beyond the Cars: Festival Highlights

Bucktoberfest wasn’t only about what was parked on the show field. Chairlift rides offered a different perspective on Buck Hill, while the Vendor Village added another part of the festival to explore.

The photos also capture some of the day’s personality: Mobile Mingle Bev in the vendor lineup and a pair of pumpkin-headed skeletons sitting in a car. A little automotive enthusiasm, a little Halloween spirit, and plenty to look at beyond the engines.

Jeff Belzer’s at Buck Hill

Our team was part of the day with the Jeff Belzer’s tent and Corvette at Buck Hill. Being the presenting sponsor gave us another opportunity to support the local automotive community and be part of an event built around a shared love of cars.

We’ve been a family-owned and operated dealership group in Minnesota since 1980. Supporting events like Bucktoberfest is a natural extension of our connection to the Twin Cities and our involvement with Buck Hill’s Weekly Wheels meets and the car shows we host at our stores.

Thank You for Being Part of It

Thank you to Buck Hill for bringing the first Bucktoberfest together, to the vehicle owners who shared their cars, to the vendors who were part of the festival, and to everyone who came out to enjoy the afternoon.

Whether you joined us at the hill or are catching up through the video and photos, we’re glad to share this look back at the inaugural Bucktoberfest Car Show.
