Deuces Wild Car Show Poker Run | 2026 | Temecula, CA
Deuces Wild Car Show & Poker Run is making its way back to Temecula for 2026!
That makes the event feel a little different from the usual stay-in-one-place car show. Attendees can expect a mix of classics, exotics, customs, and daily drivers, along with a poker run that takes participants through scenic backroads and wine-country stretches before returning to the main event. For clubs and groups especially, it has the kind of setup that gives people a reason to do more than just park and walk. There is still a showfield to enjoy, but the drive itself is clearly part of the experience.
Organized by Mission Hope, the event also carries a straightforward community purpose, with proceeds supporting the organization’s food pantry serving local children, families, and seniors. Back at the school, the day includes vendors, music, raffle, and a 50/50 drawing activity, plus trophies tied to the car show side. The Show and Shine is open to a broad range of vehicles, while trophy eligibility is more specific, with awards for classic cars from 1985 and earlier as well as exotic cars.
Set at Rancho Christian School in Temecula, the event benefits from a location that works well as both a staging point and a return spot for the wider day. Guests can expect a shaded parking-lot setup for the show, a varied lineup once cars are back on site, and a crowd that likely includes local enthusiasts, clubs, and supporters who are there as much for the outing as the vehicles. With the poker run and show working together, this feels less like a static event and more like a day built around movement, community, and cars.
Some events are mainly about what is parked in front of you. This one seems just as interested in what happens between the start and finish. For anyone who likes a Temecula drive, a mixed lineup, and a car event with a little motion built into it, Deuces Wild Car Show & Poker Run looks like a solid one to keep in mind.
