34th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals Car Show - a Lake Area Chamber event.

The Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals is a unique show for all makes, models, and years of cars, trucks and motorcycles. The show in its 34th year can have upwards of 1,000 participants and close to 10,000 spectators. Located in Central Missouri, we bring 30 years of show experience to the historic Bagnell Dam Strip at the Lake of the Ozarks. The strip is closed to normal traffic during show hours, so we only have show vehicles within the boundaries. This creates an absolutely electric atmosphere! Some say it's like being on the set of "American Graffiti".
