SOMETHING FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Our family-friendly event has various attractions for people of all ages! Some people are drawn to our car show and antique tractor display, others to the free kids play park and gator wrestling show, and some just love to watch local performers on the community stage.
Kids Park
Our kids play park is sure to keep your little ones entertained for hours. The park is free of charge. Parents must sign a waiver for their child to enter.
Car Show
Big Lake Cruisers The Rod Run is the annual fundraiser for the Big Lake Cruisers. Most of the proceeds fund local youth charities with the club retaining a small percentage for operating costs during the year. The 2023 Rod Run is Saturday, March 18 2023, in conjunction with the annual Clewiston's Sugar Festival event.
