LA Roadsters Show And Swap | 2026 | Pomona, CA
June 20 @ 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM
LA Roadsters Show and Swap Weekend is rolling back into Pomona for another year of hot rods, custom cars, and one of the longest-running traditions in Southern California car culture.
Some events build their reputation over time, and this one has had plenty of it. The weekend centers around pre-1985 street rods, but the appeal goes well beyond the show field itself. Between the swap meet, vendors, food, and steady flow of enthusiasts moving through the grounds, there is usually something happening no matter where you wander. It has the feel of the kind of event where people come to see the cars, then end up spending just as much time talking parts, projects, and stories with fellow enthusiasts.
Organized by the Los Angeles Roadsters, this year's event carries a little extra significance as the club celebrates its 60th anniversary. That milestone adds another layer to a gathering that has already become a fixture on the Southern California automotive calendar. The swap meet remains a major part of the draw as well, giving builders, collectors, and restorers a chance to hunt for parts, accessories, and hard-to-find pieces alongside the show itself. The addition of awards presented by SoCal and the LA Roadsters adds another point of interest without taking attention away from the cars that helped build the event's reputation in the first place.
Set at the Pomona Fairplex in Los Angeles County, the venue gives the show plenty of room to bring together street rods, customs, vintage builds, and automotive vendors from across the region. For many attendees, the swap meet is just as important as the vehicle lineup, creating a weekend where completed projects sit only a short walk away from the parts that might inspire the next one. The combination has helped the event maintain its following for decades and continues to make it one of the more recognizable hot rod gatherings in Southern California.
More than anything, this feels like the kind of event that celebrates the hobby from every angle. Whether it is the finished cars, the search for parts, or the conversations that happen somewhere between the two, LA Roadsters Show and Swap Weekend continues to hold onto the spirit that made hot rodding such a lasting part of California car culture.
