Old Town is an 18-acre open-air entertainment district on US-192 in Kissimmee, with more than 70 shops, bars, restaurants and fairground-style rides along brick streets. It is free to enter. It opens at 11 a.m. daily and closes at 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The reason to go is the cars. Every Saturday, the Classic Car Show fills the bricks with vehicles built before 1985, up to 250 of them according to Old Town, and at 8:30 p.m. they cruise the street in a slow parade. Every Friday the Muscle Car Show does the same with 1964-and-newer muscle cars, also cruising at 8:30 p.m. Both are free for spectators. Old Town says the Saturday cruise has run for nearly 35 years.

The weekly car shows
Old Town's published schedule, checked September 22, 2026:
| Night | Event | Times |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | Bike Night: touring motorcycles, trikes, Slingshots | 6–10 p.m. |
| Thursday | Karaoke | Evening |
| Friday | Muscle Car Show & Cruise (1964 and newer, classics to 1985) | From 3 p.m.; cruise 8:30 p.m. |
| Saturday | Classic Car Show & Cruise (pre-1985) | From 1 p.m.; cruise 8:30 p.m. |
| First Sunday of the month | Import Car Show | See Old Town's calendar |
The best plan: arrive around 7 p.m. on a Saturday, walk the rows while the owners are beside their cars, eat, then find a spot along the bricks for the 8:30 p.m. cruise. Registration closes at 7:30 p.m., so by then the field is complete.
Signature events coming up: VetteFest on Saturday, October 3, 2026, Halloween on October 31 and New Year's Eve. The anniversary of the Classic Car Cruise falls every March.
What operates in 2026
Old Town's own directory lists these rides and attractions in September 2026: the Ferris wheel (Old Town says it was made in Italy and rises over 85 feet), the Hurricane roller coaster, a carousel, the Paratrooper, Happy Days Arcade, Rootin & Tootin's Shootin' Alley, Another World VR and Mortem Manor, a haunted walk-through open Wednesday to Sunday from 6 p.m. Central Florida Slingshots rents three-wheeled roadsters from the site.
Pricing is the weak spot. Old Town's FAQ lists two packages: Ferris wheel and dinner for $15 (a ride plus a combo meal at the on-site A&W), and Mortem Manor, Ferris wheel and dinner for $30. It does not publish single-ride prices online. Fun Spot America, across the street from Old Town's big parking lot, is a separate park with its own tickets.
Eating and drinking
Food here is fair food and bar food, not a dining destination. The directory includes A&W, Flippers Pizzeria, El Cilantrillo (Puerto Rican), Kinfolks Chicken, Downtown Deli, Auntie Anne's, and bars including Bobby's Garage Bar and Fat Tuesday frozen daiquiris.
The 2026 addition is Hamburger Mary's Bar & Grille, now open, serving lunch and dinner Monday to Friday and brunch on weekends, with bingo, trivia and a Broadway brunch. Some bars check ID for 21 and over at certain hours.
If you want a proper meal in the area, eat before you come. Our Kissimmee and US-192 guide covers the better options along the corridor.
Parking: read the signs
Old Town's two pages on parking disagree, so here is exactly what each says. The parking page says parking is free year-round in lots behind each building, and that the large lot off Florida Plaza Boulevard, with more than 650 spaces, costs $11 plus tax and fees per car, paid by QR code or text; unpaid cars are towed. The FAQ says the large lot is free Monday to Thursday and paid on weekends, cash only.
The FAQ describes weekend free parking as first come, first served. On a Friday or Saturday cruise night, arrive early if you want a free space; otherwise budget $11 plus fees for the big lot, and carry both a card and cash. For every other parking fee in the city, see our parking fees page.
Fitting it into a trip
Old Town sits about a mile east of I-4 exit 67 on US-192, roughly 10 miles and 17 minutes by road from Disney Springs, which makes it an easy evening from any Kissimmee vacation home or Lake Buena Vista hotel. It works as the evening half of a day that starts at Gatorland, which closes at 5 p.m. and is about 7 miles and 15 minutes northeast by road.
