Happy Thanksgiving from BaT! No Auction Closings Today: A Practical Look

As we round into the final stretch of 2025, we remain thankful for the enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, and humor that all of you out there in the BaT community bring to this site every day. We hope your all enjoy safe travels, plentiful side dishes, and quality time with your friends/family/cars/pets/television. A few housekeeping items below:

First, no auctions will be closing on Thanksgiving Day. We will, however, have a full slate of new auctions going live. Closings will resume on Friday as normal.

We will be publishing a new episode of the BaT Podcast today. The Weekly Weird and Wonderful will also be publishing today at 12pm Pacific.

And finally, the Black Friday sale is in effect from now until Sunday! Get over to the BaT Gear Store for 35-50% discounts on most items (excluding charity sale items and the Hot Rod jacket).

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Bring a Trailer!

    Here’s summer 2026 BaT Events—Mark Your Calendars!

    BaT events continue to be the highlights of our year! Since our first Alumni Gathering in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2018, our events have grown in both variety and scale. To date, we’ve hosted more than 50 Alumni Gatherings and Meet-Ups, along with many appearances at concours, races, and other enthusiast events around the world. It’s always great to meet the folks behind the usernames and ogle at the broad swath of impressive machinery that tends to show up to these gatherings. Our 2026 event season has been busier than ever, and we’re cooking up even more opportunities to bring the BaT community together. We’re pleased to announce the next three events of 2026:

    We’ll be sponsoring the 70th anniversary of the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance in Burlingame, California. Over the decades, the Concours has brought a plethora of vintage iron together, making it “the longest continually running Concours in the world” according to the organizers. If you’re attending, visit our big-top on the fairway of the Crystal Springs Golf Course, where we’ll feature a trio of enthusiast cars and hand out free giveaways. It’s happening on Sunday, June 28, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and additional details can be found here. Grab your tickets now! BaT users can get $10 off their Sunday tickets by entering code BAT26 at checkout—available for the first 200 tickets sold. We hope to see you there!
    We’re coming to the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway on July 11 for a BaT gathering with Local Partner @911r of the Avant-Garde Collection in Portland, Oregon. We’ll have a large area for enthusiasts to display their interesting vehicles, and BaT staff will be on hand with giveaways and plenty of good company. Please note that you’ll have to register to display your vehicle.
    Join us a week later for the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend festivities in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. BaT is the Title Sponsor for this year’s Race Car Parade on Friday, July 17 and the Road America Concours d’Elegance on Saturday, July 18. Both events run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, and you can visit our tent to enjoy giveaways, great camaraderie, and a compelling array of special cars.
