The Salado Music Mile Motor Classic is being postponed until this fall.

After looking at the timing, heat, logistics, and the opportunity to grow this event the right way, we’ve decided to move the Motor Classic to a cooler fall date, most likely sometime in September or October.

This gives us more time to make the event bigger, better, and even more impactful for Salado. We’re working on adding more sponsors, more community partners, more classic cars, more live music, and an even stronger experience across Salado’s Historic Music Mile.

For anyone who has already paid for a vehicle spot in the show, we will be issuing refunds. We truly appreciate your early support and hope you’ll join us again when the new fall date is announced.

The heart of the event has not changed:
classic cars, live music, BBQ, ci**rs, wine, bourbon, beer, and a community coming together to support local music.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported, sponsored, shared, or planned to participate. Your support means a lot, and we’re excited to bring this back in the fall with even more momentum.

Stay tuned for the new date, updated schedule, sponsor opportunities, and car registration details.

The Salado Music Mile Motor Classic is not canceled — it’s just shifting gears.

Supporting local music. Strengthening our community.

🎶 Community Music Spotlight: MACT Meeting & Jam Night at Barrow Brewing 🎶

The Salado Music Friendly Community is proud to spotlight a great night of live music, connection, and community happening right here in Salado.

Join the Music Association of Central Texas — MACT for a Meeting & Jam Night** at Barrow Brewing Co. on Monday, June 8th at 6:00 PM.

MACT has been helping support and connect musicians across Central Texas since 1999. The organization was created to recognize and develop local talent, provide networking opportunities, host meetings and music events, and support the people involved in live music throughout the Central Texas area. MACT also hosts jams, competitions, musician spotlights, festivals, and monthly member meetings.

That mission lines up perfectly with what we are working to build here in Salado: a stronger, more connected live music community where musicians, venues, businesses, and fans all have a place at the table.

A big thank you to Barrow Brewing Co. for hosting this event and for continuing to be one of Salado’s most active supporters of live music. Barrow has helped make Salado a destination for music, craft beer, community events, and good times on the creek.

Whether you are a musician, singer, songwriter, venue owner, music fan, or someone who simply wants to support local music, this is a great night to show up, meet people, and be part of the Central Texas music scene.

Today, we honor the birthday of the best fiddlers to ever pickup the instrument. In our view, he was the greatest. He's in the Country Music Hall if Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and collected Grammy awards, Musician of The Year/Fiddler of the Year in the ACM and CMA's, and was State Musician of Texas in 2005. If there was a fiddle on a country music song in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, you can bet that Mr. Gimble's name was mentioned in the album credits. He had multiple motion picture appearances and was featured on their soundtracks as well. He was also a member of Bob Wills' Texas Playboys.
Any fiddle player over the past 50 years will credit Johnny Gimble among their influences or heroes.
We are proud that Mr. Gimble chose to live in Salado. When anyone asks us for notable people in Salado, we're always proud to remind them that Mr. Johnny Gimble called Salado home for awhile. Heck, May 30th should forever be, "Johnny Gimble Day" in Texas and Salado!
