18th Annual Parade of Trabants

Exhibit History Car Show

What’s Happening?

Join us for the ONLY Trabant Rally in the United States!

Celebrate the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall at this festive gathering of the quintessential Cold War car—the Trabant. Despite their questionable performance and smoky two-stroke engines, these little cars are now affectionately regarded as a symbol of East Germany and the fall of Communism.

Trabants are a rarity here, but on November 9 some of the finest examples in the US will chug their way to the International Spy Museum to celebrate our Eighteenth Annual Parade of Trabants. Drop in to view the famous “cardboard” cars and other vintage Cold War autos, vans, scooters, and cycles all very far from their original homes. You can even vote on your favorite!

The vintage vehicles will be parked around the Museum on Alte Kameraden German Band provides festive music.
