Coming up!

Get ready to rev your engines and cruise into an unforgettable day at the Wallowa Mountain Cruise Car Show!
Join us for a turbocharged experience that's been hailed as one of the best little car-show in the Northwest.
Picture this: up to 150-200 antique cars and hot rods dominate Joseph's picturesque main street, turning heads and igniting a passion for all things automotive.
Formerly known as the Oregon Mountain Cruise, this legendary event was born from the creative minds of Chuck Garrett of Moonlight Graphics and Jim "Ragman" Tuschhoff in 1988.
Now under the expert operation of the Joseph Oregon Chamber of Commerce, with generous support from the City of Joseph and the local community members, this show has undergone a thrilling transformation.
So, gear up, fuel your excitement, and join us for a weekend that promises to redefine AWESOME in the world of car shows!
