Fall Carlisle 2025 will be held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, bringing a wide range of classics and collector cars to the auction. The event location is confirmed for visitors planning travel and on-site viewing over the weekend.
Plan to arrive early to maximize time for previews and catalog browsing. The auction typically runs over several days, with specific viewing and bidding windows posted by organizers. Check the official schedule ahead of your visit to align with vehicle previews and buyer registration. Bring valid ID and any bid credentials you have prepared.
Getting there
Upon arrival, follow posted signs to the main visitor entrances and bidding areas. Allow time for on-site registration if you do not have a bidder number, as staff will help with the process. A map of halls and tents is usually available at welcome desks and online. Seasonal weather can affect outdoor lots, so dress accordingly.
Be prepared for both indoor and outdoor viewing, with multiple halls and vendor rows. Bring a camera or phone to capture interesting cars and catalog numbers for later reference. Payment options vary by item, so confirm accepted methods with the consignors or the auction house before bidding. Familiarize yourself with the bidder assistance desk if you need help with catalogs or on-site processes.
Viewing tips
Preview days and times are posted by the organizers and may vary by vehicle lot. Arrive with a plan to inspect vehicles of interest and compare condition notes from the catalog. Staff and volunteers are available to point you to the correct halls and auction lanes. Respect quiet hours near bidding rings to maintain a smooth process.
Accessibility services are typically available, including wheelchair-friendly routes and seating areas near restrooms. Look for information desks for directions to restrooms, concessions, and first aid. Bring a portable charger for devices used in catalog apps and bidder registrations. If you have mobility needs, contact the organizers in advance to confirm accessible viewing options.
Weather can be variable in Carlisle, so pack layers and rain gear as needed. Keep personal items secure and use lockers if available. Bring copies of item numbers or a digital list for quick reference during bidding. The on-site staff can help with last-minute questions as you navigate the sale floors.
