If you’re a fan of custom trucks, lifted builds, slammed rides and spending the weekend surrounded by fellow gearheads, RAD Rides in the Park 2025 was the place to be. Held September 12–14, 2025, at beautiful Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, North Carolina, the event once again proved why it’s become one of the Southeast’s favorite automotive gatherings.
Presented by Dropem Wear, RAD Rides in the Park brought together hundreds of amazing vehicles, passionate builders, vendors and families for three days filled with horsepower, custom fabrication and plenty of conversations about the next modification.
One of the things that makes RAD Rides in the Park unique is the setting. Instead of being surrounded by concrete and buildings, the show takes place under the trees at Tanglewood Park, giving the entire event a laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for walking the show grounds.
Everywhere you looked there was something worth stopping to admire. Beautifully detailed mini trucks sat beside towering, lifted diesels. Classic pickups shared space with modern customs, while muscle cars, SUVs and performance builds filled nearly every corner of the park.
Whether your style is old school or brand new, there was plenty to appreciate throughout the weekend.
As expected, custom trucks stole much of the spotlight.
The show field featured everything from body-dropped mini trucks with air ride suspension to massive, lifted diesel builds wearing huge wheels and aggressive tires. Builders proudly displayed polished engine bays, custom interiors, intricate paintwork and suspension setups that showed just how much time and dedication went into every project.
Many owners spent the weekend talking with spectators, sharing build stories and exchanging ideas with fellow enthusiasts, making the event feel more like a reunion than just another truck show.
Although trucks are the heart of RAD Rides in the Park, there was no shortage of variety.

That mix of vehicles kept spectators exploring the grounds all weekend and made sure there was something for everyone, regardless of what they drive.
One of the best parts of RAD Rides in the Park isn’t just the vehicles—it’s the people.
Throughout the weekend, friends caught up, clubs parked together, families walked the show field and photographers captured hundreds of incredible builds. Vendors offered everything from apparel and detailing products to performance parts and accessories, giving attendees even more reasons to spend the day checking everything out.
The event also included fundraising efforts benefiting Toys for Tots, showing once again that the custom automotive community enjoys giving back while doing what it loves most.
Each year, RAD Rides in the Park continues to grow while keeping the relaxed atmosphere that has made it such a favorite among enthusiasts. Great vehicles, beautiful surroundings and an outstanding automotive community are a combination that’s hard to beat.
If you enjoy custom trucks, classic rides, lifted builds or simply spending a weekend surrounded by people who love automotive culture as much as you do, be sure to keep RAD Rides in the Park on your calendar. Judging by another successful weekend in 2025, this event isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
