Santa Ana Elks Charity Car Show | 2026 | Orange County, CA
The Santa Ana Elks Charity Car Show is rolling into Orange County for another full day of chrome, customs, motorcycles, and community-driven car culture!
Expect a lively mix of classic cars, hot rods, motorcycles, lowriders, and custom builds spread across the lodge grounds throughout the day. The event carries more of that traditional Southern California car show atmosphere, where polished rides, live music, food vendors, and casual conversations all blend together naturally. Between the DJ, raffles, vendor booths, and afternoon live band performance, there will be plenty happening beyond the rows of vehicles themselves.
Hosted by Santa Ana Elks Lodge, this annual gathering continues to build its place within the local Orange County car community while supporting a charitable cause at the same time. The show welcomes a broad range of participants, including special categories for female entrants, veterans, and Elk members alongside roughly 20 award classes overall. Tours of the Elks Lodge will also be available upon request during the event. Since this is a recurring show, attendees may want to check the organizer’s official social media pages closer to the date for any updates or schedule adjustments.
Set in Santa Ana in the heart of Orange County, the location gives the event a comfortable neighborhood feel while still drawing enthusiasts from across the Southern California car scene. Early morning staging brings steady activity long before the official show hours begin, and the mix of motorcycles, classics, customs, and vintage American steel should keep plenty of attention around the property throughout the afternoon. This one leans more toward authentic community car culture than large commercial-style events.
With live music filling the background and rows of polished rides lining the grounds, the Santa Ana Elks Charity Car Show offers the kind of relaxed Sunday atmosphere that keeps people hanging around well past their first lap through the show. Bring your crew, grab some food, and take your time soaking in a day built around cars, motorcycles, and local Southern California energy.
