There are plenty of car shows throughout coastal North Carolina, but only one combines polished chrome, classic automobiles, and visiting aircraft—all while helping children right here in Brunswick County.

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, the Ocean Isle Beach Pilots Association and the Tri-Beach Cruisers Car Club will once again host the Wings & Wheels Fly-In & Car Show at Odell Williamson Airport in Ocean Isle Beach.

The event has become a favorite among both automotive enthusiasts and aviation fans, bringing together an impressive collection of classic cars, antique vehicles, muscle cars, custom builds, and airplanes in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Even better, every registration dollar benefits the Brunswick County Toy Run, an organization that has been serving local children since 1992. The Toy Run uses every dollar raised to purchase toys, gifts, and essential items for children in need throughout Brunswick County during the Christmas season.

Vehicle and aircraft registration runs from 9:00 until 11:30 a.m., with awards beginning at 2:00 p.m. Registration is only $20, and there is no pre-registration, so participants should simply arrive the morning of the event.

Visitors can also enjoy free hot dogs, generously donated by The Butcher of Brunswick, while supplies last.

Whether you're entering your prized classic, flying into the airport, or simply looking for a fun Saturday activity with the family, Wings & Wheels offers something for everyone. It's a chance to admire incredible machines, meet fellow enthusiasts, support a worthwhile cause, and spend the day with neighbors who share a passion for community.

The Tri-Beach Cruisers are proud to partner with the Ocean Isle Beach Pilots Association for another memorable event, and we invite everyone across Brunswick County and the surrounding area to come out and help make a difference.

We'll see you at Odell Williamson Airport on September 12th for a day of planes, cars, community, and kids.
