Hot Wheels Legends Tour | 2026 | SoCal Region
October 3 @ 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The Hot Wheels Legends Tour is back in 2025, presented by Mattel Creations and powered by Mobil 1. What began as a celebration of car culture has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, giving builders the chance to see their custom creations turned into a 1:64 Hot Wheels die-cast. With its mix of originality, authenticity, and garage spirit, the tour has become one of the most anticipated events for enthusiasts of all ages.
Las Vegas - Walmart Supercenter
On this stop, enthusiasts can showcase their custom creations and check out the region’s most inventive builds.
San Francisco - Walmart Supercenter
The San Francisco stop brings the Hot Wheels Legends Tour into Northern California with a strong builder-focused feel. Expect a wide mix of custom cars, creative garage builds, wild paint, slammed setups, lifted projects, and one-off rides that look like they could jump straight into the Hot Wheels world. With the Bay Area’s deep car culture in the background, this stop should have plenty of personality, from clean street builds to the kind of bold, unusual creations that make people stop, point, and start talking.
Chula Vista - Walmart Supercenter
The Chula Vista stop is where one of our iDriveSoCal subscribers, David L., will have his car reviewed by the Hot Wheels Legends team. He described the moment as feeling like “meeting Santa Claus”, a once-in-a-lifetime thrill for builders hoping their car becomes a die-cast legend.
El Segundo - Mattel Inc. Headquarters
The Mattel campus opens its doors for this stop of the Legends Tour, offering fans a unique chance to experience the heart of Hot Wheels. From wild custom rides to cars that capture Hot Wheels’ spirit of creativity, attendees can expect plenty of surprises.
At every stop, attendees will see custom cars that push boundaries in design, performance, and storytelling. From grassroots garage builds to professional-level projects, the event creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that connects Hot Wheels history with today’s car culture. Families can enjoy a welcoming environment, photo ops, and plenty of inspiration from cars that may just earn a place in the Hot Wheels lineup.
So whether you’re bringing a build or just coming to enjoy the scene, each stop of the Hot Wheels Legends Tour offers a chance to experience something special and maybe even witness the birth of the next Hot Wheels die-cast.
