On the first Saturday of every month, Pilot Mountain hosts one of its staples during the summer months, its monthly cruise-in and car show. Starting in the mid-2000s, this has become one of the larger car shows in the Triad and in Northwestern North Carolina. Cars line up and down Main Street to gather to have fun. Food trucks, live bands with beach music, and downtown stores are all open during the shows that run from May to October. Old cars, trucks, motorcycles, muscle cars, and street rods are welcome to the event. The schedule for dates and bands can be found below
