Slow and Low 2018

Living not only in magazines and print, this thriving community and sub-culture is also very much alive right here in the Midwest.

Slow&Low is a curated one-day outdoor street-based festival celebrating Lowrider and automobile culture featuring Midwest’s master craftsmen, innovative mechanics, custom pinstripers, muralists, and other enthusiasts who contribute to the overall visual auto-art aesthetics. Here you will see vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles and bicycles in classic Lowrider-style, vintage car preservationists and more contemporary representations of car/bike sub-cultures.

Not to be confused with an auto show, this indigenous, community-cultural event presents and explores notions of car culture as an authentic form of contemporary folk art in the public sphere - a way of expressing beauty and self-expression.

In 2018, over 12,000 people, young and old, walked a street filled with vintage and stylized automobiles and bicycles, danced to local deejay talent spinning hip hop, house, rockabilly, and soul, and watched as cars hopped and cruised. You will also experience folk art performances, shop at the pop-up artisan/maker market, indulge in delicious food and libations, observe a car hopping demonstration, and so much more!
