Each year, fans of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth gather for this reunion to celebrate his work. Big Daddy Roth is a legend in the world of hot rodding and one of the founders of “Kustom Kulture.” He is best known for his incredible work creating one-of-a-kind hot rods and for the creation of Rat Fink, the little green rat that epitomizes the world of rodding.

Artists attending the Rat Fink Reunion share their talents through Car Show Awards, 5K Fun Run Awards and auction pieces. Come watch the artists at work and have them create your dream designs. They airbrush and pinstripe on everything! Visitors will get their fill of amazing art, cars, Rat Fink memorabilia and great live performances that can’t be seen anywhere else.

This reunion will not disappoint. Plan now to visit the Rat Fink store and Rat Fink Museum located at 404 E. 300 North, Manti. Both will be open to the public all day during the reunion so visitors can walk away with a ton of fun memories and awesome merchandise.
