Flabob Cars And Planes Car Show | 2026 | Riverside, CA
Flabob Cars and Planes Car Show is landing in Riverside for 2026 with modified builds, aircraft backdrop appeal, and a setting that already feels different from the average weekend meet.
This one has a more festival-style edge than a simple parked-up car show. The airstrip setting changes the whole mood, and once the cars are lined up next to planes and hangars, the event starts to feel more like a full scene than a basic lot gathering. Expect a mix of JDM builds, Euro cars, domestic projects, VIP vehicles, bagged setups, stance cars, and other custom rides, with live DJ sets, vendor alley, games, music, and crowd activity helping keep the day moving.
Organized by Seven Suns Collective, the event looks built around both show-quality presentation and spectator energy. Awards stretch across multiple styles and categories, which gives the lineup a broader identity than a one-lane specialty meet. There is also a competitive side with the Showcase Showdown live build battle, plus a two-step competition, tug-of-war, raffle prizes, and other attractions that make this feel bigger than a standard cars and coffee. With more space this time around and airstrip and hangar parking in the mix, the whole format sounds like it is aiming for a stronger second round.
Set at Flabob Airport in Riverside County, the location is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here in the best way. An airport show naturally gives the cars more visual payoff, especially when the builds are displayed next to aircraft instead of against the usual rows of storefronts or parking curbs. For Inland Empire car enthusiasts, that makes this one stand out right away. It also gives the event room to lean into modified-car culture in a way that feels open, a little louder, and more visually memorable.
Flabob Cars and Planes feels like the kind of event where the setting is not just a backdrop but part of the whole draw. The builds bring the detail, the planes bring the atmosphere, and the rest of the day fills in around that. If you like your car shows with more motion, more variety, and a little aviation flavor around the edges, this Riverside stop has its own identity.
