Metro Detroit’s gearheads are about to flood Commerce Township, with Modded Detroit expecting more than 2,000 vehicles to roll into the Multi-Lakes Conservation Association this Saturday for its season-opening car show. The event runs from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., with everything from exotics and old-school muscle to grassroots tuner builds and lifted trucks set to cram into the lakeside grounds. Entry is $20 per car or $10 per bike, collected at the gate, and each entry includes a sticker and one raffle ticket.

What To Expect This Saturday

According to The Metro Detroit News, organizers are bracing for more than 2,000 vehicles, including Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren, alongside American muscle, imports, trucks, motorcycles and tuner builds. The gathering is being billed as one of Michigan’s largest season-opening, open-entry shows, with a rain date set for April 25. Attendees can expect club rows, vendor booths and a large VIP showcase spread across more than 20 acres of park space.

Tickets, Safety And Logistics

Modded Detroit’s event page states that payment will be handled on-site only, and that the $20 car and $10 bike entry fee includes a sticker and one raffle ticket. Organizers are warning attendees to ignore any payment solicitations in direct messages and to follow only official Modded Detroit accounts for information. VIP and vendor applications were opened in advance, so arriving early could help secure a better spot near premium parking or vendor services. High-value builds will be highlighted in a VIP showcase that puts selected high-end cars and local influencers front and center.

Giveaways, Races And Hands-On Fun

Giveaways planned for the day include a full vehicle wrap as the grand prize, a Miata go-kart build, a TIAL blowoff valve, MRT gift cards, window tinting and detailing kits, plus Modded Detroit merchandise, The Metro Detroit News reports. The schedule also features a $500 footrace with a cash prize, an interactive “Hellcord” painting activity where attendees can spray-paint a Honda Accord that will then be driven for two weeks, and awards across more than 10 categories. Food trucks expected on-site include Multilakes Hamburgers & Hot Dogs, Motorcity Munchiez, El Toro Taco Truck and others to keep everyone fed between passes and parking-lot walkarounds.

Modded Detroit And The Local Scene

Modded Detroit has grown from casual social media meetups into large public showcases. Ford Performance covered the group’s 2025 feature at the Detroit Auto Show and highlighted its role in drawing younger enthusiasts into the city’s car culture. That grassroots energy helps explain how an open-entry format can pull thousands of cars into an Oakland County park and why local businesses and vendors are lining up to participate. Organizers say the goal is to build community and keep the local automotive scene growing through regular seasonal events.

Attendees should expect heavy local traffic and limited on-site parking, and organizers are asking visitors to follow on-site signage and official Modded Detroit channels for any last-minute updates. For full details on VIP, vendor and parking rules, see the event page at Modded Detroit.
