Corona Elks Veterans Car Show | 2026 | Riverside County, CA
Corona Elks Charity Car Show is returning to Corona for its 16th annual gathering!
There is something timeless about a neighborhood car show where the vehicles are only part of what brings people together. Throughout the day, rows of classics, hot rods, customs, muscle cars, and other enthusiast-owned vehicles create plenty of reasons to slow down, strike up conversations, and admire the craftsmanship behind each build. Add live music, raffle prizes, and the steady flow of visitors moving through the lineup, and the event takes on the feel of a longstanding community tradition rather than a one-day exhibition.
Organized by Corona Elks Lodge No. 2045, the annual event continues to support the lodge's charitable programs while welcoming both participants and spectators. Vehicle owners can register to display their rides or become event sponsors, while visitors can enjoy raffle prizes, vehicle awards across multiple judging categories, food, and drink specials available throughout the day. The gathering blends friendly competition with community fundraising, giving attendees plenty to experience beyond the vehicles themselves.
Happening at Corona Elks Lodge No. 2045 in Riverside County, the lodge grounds provide a fitting setting for a charity event centered on Southern California's automotive community. Visitors can expect a broad mix of classics, customs, restored favorites, and performance builds filling the venue, with the indoor clubroom also offering a comfortable place to relax between walks through the lineup. The combination of indoor amenities and outdoor displays makes it easy to spend several hours exploring the show at a comfortable pace.
Some annual car shows become fixtures because of the trophies they award. Others earn that reputation by giving enthusiasts another reason to reconnect with friends while supporting a worthwhile cause. After sixteen years, the Corona Elks Charity Car Show continues to do a little of both, bringing together great vehicles and a strong sense of community in the heart of Corona.
