Most car shows are about the builds: who’s got the cleanest paint, the loudest exhaust, the most dialed-in suspension. Project Jasmine LadiesFest isn’t chasing that. It’s built around something bigger. On Saturday, August 15; the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia will fill up with cars, trucks, and motorcycles from across the Southeast. While we love the dope vehicles that will be present and hope to get pictures of the real draw is what the event stands for. LadiesFest raises awareness for domestic violence and supports the Jasmine A. Gantt Memorial Scholarship, keeping Jasmine’s memory alive through education and community outreach.
More Than a Car Show
At Street Cars 101 Magazine, we see it every weekend: people driving hours just to be around others who love the same thing they do. LadiesFest takes that same energy and points it somewhere meaningful. You’ll get the full car-show experience, a strong lineup of vehicles, live entertainment, vendors, food, and a family-friendly atmosphere, whether you’re rolling in with a bone-stock daily driver or a full custom build. But every dollar spent on registration, sponsorships, vendor space, or admission goes toward a cause that reaches well past the fairgrounds.
Supporting Survivors and Changing Lives
Domestic violence touches families in every community, no matter their background or income. Project Jasmine exists to honor Jasmine Gantt’s memory, raise awareness around domestic violence, and open doors for students through scholarship support. Showing up for LadiesFest means showing up for that mission. For survivors, for families, and for students trying to build a better future.
