The festival takes place over three weekend days in October and has a wide variety of motorcycle-related events and programs. One of the biggest draws is the Motorcycle Parts Swap Meet, to help do-it-yourselfers find the obscure part they need to restore a vintage, modern or foreign bike. Other events include: a benefit dinner and auction; guest speakers (technical, racing, design and restoration); the "Century Race" of bikes (which are at least 100 years old); assorted other races of a variety of vehicles; an airshow by the Aeroshell Acrobatic Team; the Wall of Death stunt show; an auction of bikes and parts; and a display of antique firefighting vehicles.

Barber Motorsports Park is one of the premiere racing facilities in the country for both motorcycles and automobiles. Opened in January of 2003, it soon became a top location for races and product launches by companies such as Porsche, Honda, Mustang, Lotus and Indycar. On its 740 acre site, the park also has camping facilities for both motorhomes and tents, which are available for the Vintage Festival.

Located on the grounds of Barber Motorsports Park, the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum hosts many of the events and programs of the festival. Home to over 1200 vintage vehicles, it was founded by motorcycle and Porsche enthusiast George Barber in 1995 and moved to its present location in 2003. With the largest such collection in North America, it also lends vehicles to museums and shows internationally.
