Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival

Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival Celebrating the unique heritage of Auburn, Indiana, with events taking place annually the week prior to Labor Day, bringing together automotive enthusiasts.

09/06/2026

For 70 years, we’ve been bringing the classics home. 🏁 For one weekend every year, the streets fill, the engines fire up and these legendary automobiles return to where their stories began.

What began seven decades ago has grown into something truly special — a weekend where automotive history, generations of families and car lovers from across the country come together right here in Auburn, Indiana.

In the Year of the Century Car, we couldn’t have imagined a better way to celebrate the 70th Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival.

To the AUBURN CORD DUESENBERG CLUB, Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, our sponsors, volunteers, community partners and every person who made the trip from near and far — thank you for keeping this tradition alive.

Here’s to the next 70.

From the racetrack to the streets of Auburn, we were incredibly honored to welcome Sarah Fisher as the Grand Marshal of the 2026 Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. 🏁

A huge THANK YOU to Sarah for helping lead the Parade of Classics through downtown Auburn.

As a former IndyCar driver and one of Indiana’s most recognizable names in motorsports, Sarah was the perfect fit for a weekend built around horsepower, legendary automobiles and the people who keep automotive history moving forward.

We were honored to have her behind the wheel of ACD Festival weekend!
