Trucks, Horses and Music in Princeton

Caballos Y Trokas, promoted as North Carolina's Biggest Truck Show, comes to Rancho 2 Jinetes in Princeton on Saturday, October 17, 2026.

The one-day event brings together customized trucks, horses, music, food, and vendors to celebrate automotive and equestrian culture.

Organizers describe the experience as “Music • Trucks • Horses • Culture.” Families can see show vehicles, explore vendor offerings, and enjoy a different kind of Johnston County gathering.
