Step back in time August 16-18, 2024, at the 59th annual Old Time Power Show at Antique Acres in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Experience our rich heritage of agriculture with live demonstrations, home-cooked meals, exhibits, tractor pulls, a working saw mill and blacksmith shop and a flea market and craft show. Watch a pedal pull and view vintage cars and motorcycles.
Prepare yourself for the sputter, hum and roar of engines of our past, from old garden tractors to powerful steam engines during one of the highlights of the weekend, the “Parade of Power.” You’ll see everything from a garden tractor to a powerful steam engine in this daily parade down the concourse of Antique Acres. This year's featured tractor is International Harvester and will host the IH Red Power State State Show during the Antique Acres Old Time Power Show.
More than a thousand visitors attend the Old Time Power Show each year to see 300-400 tractors on display. The show is dedicated to the preservation and operation of antique machinery and you’ll find many of the owners demonstrating the mechanics of their tractor.
The Old Time Power Show takes place at Antique Acres in Cedar Falls (7610 Waverly Road). Admission is $15/day (3-day pass is $30) and children 12 and under enter for free. Gates open each day at 7am and parking is available for free on the grounds of Antique Acres. Be sure to visit their Facebook page for updates and their website for more information. And mark your calendars for next year's Old Time Power Show which will take place on August 15-17, 2025. Massy Ferguson will be the 2025 featured tractor.
