Fayetteville, Ga. — Thousands of car enthusiasts, motorcycle riders, and fans are expected to converge on rapper and entrepreneur Rick Ross’s sprawling “The Promise Land” estate this weekend for the fifth annual Rick Ross Car & Bike Show. The event, billed as “the biggest self-made car show in history,” will showcase hundreds of custom and classic vehicles, celebrity appearances, live music, and food vendors.
While the show promises an exciting day for attendees, local officials in South Fulton and Fayette County have rolled out a comprehensive traffic management plan to handle the anticipated crowds and minimize disruptions. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026.
Rick Ross Car & Bike Show: South Fulton, Fayetteville Brace for Major Traffic Disruptions
Strict Parking and Shuttle RequirementsOrganizers and law enforcement emphasize that no foot traffic or walking into the event will be permitted. Attendees, including rideshare passengers, must park at designated off-site lots and take secure shuttle buses.
- Off-site parking lots: World Changers Church (2500 Burdett Road, Atlanta) and the Masonic Lodge off Old National Highway.
- VIP parking: Strictly limited to 200 spaces. VIP drivers must check in at Heatherwood Church for hangtags before proceeding to the site.
Exhibitors and food vendors must arrive by 8 a.m., or they will be redirected to the remote lots.
Heavy Police Presence and Road Restrictions
South Fulton Police Department will deploy nearly 48 officers starting at 9 a.m. to manage traffic along Old National Highway and surrounding areas. Expect heavy congestion beginning around 10 a.m., with another surge around 6 p.m. as the event concludes.

After 10 a.m., only secure shuttles and authorized VIP vehicles will be allowed onto the property.
Advice for Drivers and LocalsAuthorities recommend avoiding the Old National Highway corridor if possible. Those attending other local events, such as the 6 p.m. gathering at the Burdett Recreation Center, should use alternative routes like Old Bill Cook Road.
The plans stem from coordination between the City of South Fulton, police, code enforcement, and the Rick Ross Car & Bike Show production team. Past events have drawn significant crowds, leading to congestion, and officials aim to improve flow this year while protecting residential areas.
