Collectors' fair within the Lavaur rock & cars festival
Every mid-June, the Rock'&'Cars Festival transforms Lavaur's Bishop's Garden into a temple of vintage cars, Harley-Davidsons and rock'n'roll. Over three days, an exchange and collectors' fair gathers exhibitors and enthusiasts around spare parts, vintage items, miniatures and automotive goodies. An unmissable rendezvous for Americana, hot rods and rockabilly fans in Tarn.
Since its creation, the Rock'&'Cars Festival of Lavaur has become one of the biggest annual gatherings of collector cars, hot rods, kustoms and Harley-Davidson motorcycles in southern France. Held in the Bishop's Garden at the foot of Saint-Alain cathedral, it combines automotive passion, rock, blues and rockabilly, pin-up culture and festive spirit. Over 900 vintage cars and hundreds of motorcycles converge each year.
A collectors' and exchange fair runs through the three festival days. Exhibitors and hunters find spare parts for old cars and motorcycles, accessories, Dinky, Solido, Matchbox miniatures, enamel plates, old magazines, rock'n'roll and rockabilly vinyls, posters, vintage clothing and American brand goodies.
