Rumble in the Bay was created in 2007.

From 2012 until 2020, Bigfork’s Rumble in the Bay Car Show was proudly organized by the Veterans at the Bigfork VFW Post 4042. In 2016, Rumble in the Bay brought in record-breaking crowds due to My Classic Car with Dennis Gage coming to town to film an episode of his show named after our show. In 2021 the Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce took over the organization of the event, but proudly continues to call the VFW Post 4042 a partner and proceeds continue to support their high school scholarship program.

Rumble in the Bay is one of the most eagerly awaited car shows of the summer in the Pacific Northwest. We’re located in Bigfork, Montana on Flathead Lake, a beautiful village on the bay. Bigfork closes off its main street, Electric Avenue, for the annual Rumble in the Bay Car Show. Participants from near and far roll into town with their beautiful vehicles. Crowds arrive in the early morning hours for food, drinks, and a relaxing stroll through town to enjoy and appreciate the vintages cars, trucks, and motorcycles on display.
