51st Queen Wilhelmina Rod Run

Held each fall atop Queen Wilhelmina Mountain in Mena, Arkansas, the Queen Wilhelmina Rod Run has become one of the region's most beloved automotive traditions. Now celebrating its 51st year, the Rod Run welcomes hundreds of classic cars and thousands of visitors from across Arkansas and neighboring states.
The event showcases beautifully restored classics, hot rods, muscle cars, customs, trucks, and specialty vehicles against the stunning backdrop of the Ouachita Mountains. Guests can enjoy vendors, food, live entertainment, awards, scenic drives, and a welcoming community atmosphere that has kept participants coming back year after year.
Hosted by the Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce, the Queen Wilhelmina Rod Run is more than a car show—it's a celebration of automotive heritage, tourism, and the local businesses that make Mena a destination worth visiting.
Whether you're entering a vehicle, shopping with vendors, or simply enjoying the mountain, we invite you to become part of one of Arkansas' longest-running and most cherished automotive events.
