Freak Out the Square Ride-In

The Freak Out the Square Ride-In is a Ratrodtober tradition and one of the best ways to experience the show. Before the main event begins, a parade of rat rods, hot rods, customs and classics makes its way through the neighborhoods and streets of Historic Downtown McKinney, bringing the rumble of Ratrodtober through the heart of the city.

Starting at Commercial Bank of Texas and ending at TUPPS Brewery, the Ride-In gives the community a front-row seat as an incredible lineup of cars cruises through McKinney on its way into the show.

Find a spot along the route, hear them coming and watch Ratrodtober roll by.
