Rad Revival returns to Paristown with ’80s and ’90s cars, BMX stunts, trunk-or-treating and foster-youth fundraiser
The event at Paristown in Louisville features rare vintage vehicle displays, BMX performances, costume contests and a special car giveaway benefiting Kentucky foster youth.
Rad Revival returned to Paristown in Louisville on Thursday, bringing entertainment centered on rare ’80s and ’90s cars along with family-focused Halloween activities, according to WLKY. Organizers said the event highlights classic rides, BMX stunts and a range of activities designed for children and parents gathering for the fall season.
WLKY reported that attendees could see a curated selection of vintage and collectible vehicles, including “rare” cars from the 1980s and 1990s. The display is part of Rad Revival’s format, which blends car culture with live performances and interactive community events.
In addition to the vehicle showcase, the program included BMX stunts, providing a performance component for families attending together. The event also included trunk-or-treating, a Halloween activity in which participants decorate car trunks and distribute candy to children as they move through the event area.
Rad Revival also featured costume contests, with attendees encouraged to participate in the event’s Halloween-themed activities. Organizers framed the contests as another way for families to take part in the day’s programming rather than simply observe.
WLKY said the event concluded with a special car giveaway, with proceeds benefiting Kentucky foster youth. Organizers’ stated focus was on directing support toward children and families involved in the foster-care system.
The event’s return comes during the week of Oct. 22, when local communities across the Louisville area schedule fall festivals and Halloween events. Rad Revival at Paristown adds to the range of family activities planned for the season, with car displays and trunk-or-treating drawing residents looking for structured, supervised options.
As the Halloween season continues, organizers said Rad Revival’s mix of vehicle culture, live BMX stunts and community fundraising is intended to create a single-day gathering for families while supporting foster youth in Kentucky.
