Join us for the third annual Wings & Wheels — a one‑of‑a‑kind automotive and aviation festival just outside Chicago at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport. This family‑friendly event brings together rare exotic cars, custom builds, classic airplanes, and local vendors for an unforgettable day of sights, sounds, and community.
Whether you’re showcasing your ride, exploring aircraft up close, or just here for the atmosphere, Wings & Wheels is the ultimate summer destination for enthusiasts of all ages.
Created by local automotive enthusiasts, Wings & Wheels celebrates the intersection of cars and aviation in the Chicago area. Started in 2025, we plan to make our event an annual summer tradition, showcasing the passion and craftsmanship of both communities.
We are proud to showcase the turn out we were able to produce in just our 2nd year of hosting this event. 2027 will be even bigger!

Our goal is showcase rare and unique enthusiast vehicles from all eras. Although we do not have a specific list, any car you may classify as “general traffic” would be best for our spectator parking. We reserve the right to refund tickets for vehicle that fall in this classification.
At this time, we are only accepting online purchases for tickets. To help expedite things and minimize a long line we are not selling tickets on-site.
Nope! We welcome all photographers and videographers to join in the fun of our event. However, drones are not allowed without FAA approval. You can contact us if you are interested in this.
The airport and local DeKalb fire department has set limits on how many vehicles we can park in our designated area. Once we sell out, all traffic will be guided into the spectator parking lot. Once that is full, we will need to deny entry.
