FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. — The Rick Ross Car & Bike Show will be rolling into Fayette County again this year.

The car show has caused quite the controversy over the years. Ross’ neighbors complained about gridlocked traffic during the 2022 show at the mansion, saying their “quality of life was unnecessarily compromised.”

Ross meanwhile had to battle county officials who initially denied a permit before one was eventually approved for the 2023 show.

More than 6,000 people attended the car show at Ross’ estate last year.

After the show finished, authorities praised Ross for how the event handled the crowds and said there were no major issues.

“Everything has run very well considering the amount of people and the small traffic ways we have here, and it’s because he hired a good team,” Sheriff Barry Babb said last June.
