About
The annual Texas Relays Car Show and Donk Contest is a celebration of vehicles, family fun, and culture. The Donk Contest originally began at Highland Mall where cars would gather during the Texas Relays rally weekend. The car show started as an organic event with no event organizers. Everyone in Texas knew to be at Highland Mall on the Saturday of Relays weekend to see the coolest cars in Texas. This all changed in 2015 when the mall was closed down. Without a place to congregate, we realized the show may come to a premature end. That’s why the Donk Contest was created. We aim to create a similar experience to the original Highland Mall shows that many of us looked forward to for years. Come see slabs, donks, foreigns, and more. Plenty of prizes and free admission. As always there will also be some surprise guests and judges. So don’t miss out!
We hope to create an environment where both car lovers and the general public can come together and share cultural experiences while enjoying rolling artwork, we call Donks. In a time where there is more divisiveness between people, we want to do our best to bridge the gap between people of all walks of life. During the 2017 Donk Contest, two feuding Houston rappers were able to put their beef aside. That’s what the Donk Contest is all about. Rain or shine, the Donk Contest will take place so don’t miss it.
