One of the First Big Events of the Year

The Relaxed Atmosphere truck club’s 6th annual Relaxin’ in the Park show was an unforgettable weekend, packed with cool trucks, good vibes, and plenty of activities for the whole family. This year’s event saw a change of scenery, moving to the beautiful West City Park in Festus, Missouri, but the spirit of the show remained as strong as ever.

With a $40 show vehicle registration covering the whole weekend and all proceeds benefiting local children’s organizations, it’s no wonder truck enthusiasts from all over flocked to the event. The fun kicked off with a pre-party on Friday night, setting the stage for a weekend of automotive excitement. By Saturday morning, the park was full with activity as owners and spectators gathered to drool over the freshly detailed show rides.

One of the standout features of Relaxin’ in the Park is its family friendly atmosphere. Kids enjoyed activities like a coloring contest, while everyone eagerly awaited the results of the huge raffle. A special moment of the event came at noon on Saturday when the show honored all heroes, including current and former military personnel and first responders. This heartfelt tribute added a meaningful touch to the festivities, reminding everyone of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals.

Saturday night kept the excitement going with a downtown cruise on Main Street, allowing participants to showcase their trucks in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. With no judging on Sunday, attendees were free to explore Festus, do some last-minute shopping with show vendors, and enjoy the laid-back vibe of the event.

The highlight of the weekend was the trophy ceremony at noon on Sunday. Relaxin’ in the Park is famous for its unique trophies, especially the “Best of” categories. This year’s Best of Show winner walked away with a custom wrestling belt, adding a fun and distinctive twist to the award.

Relaxin’ in the Park 2024 was a resounding success, blending community spirit, stunning trucks, and family-friendly fun.
