Santa Monica Classic Car Show | 2026 | Los Angeles County, CA
The Santa Monica Classic Car Show is cruising back to the pier in 2026!
Happening at the world-famous Santa Monica Pier, this annual gathering brings together a stunning variety of classic rides and custom builds, all set against one of California’s most iconic coastal backdrops. From lowriders and muscle cars to timeless vintage favorites, every vehicle on display reflects a mix of artistry, history, and West Coast car culture.
Hosted by the Pico Youth & Family Center, the event welcomes all car clubs and solo riders, making it a true open invitation for the automotive community to come together. The pier’s lively atmosphere adds to the experience, offering plenty to see beyond the show itself, from ocean views to the bustling boardwalk scene.
Expect a day filled with more than just chrome and paint. With the roll-in early in the morning, guests can enjoy hours of car-spotting, conversations with fellow enthusiasts, and the unique energy that comes from celebrating automotive passion by the Pacific.
So bring your friends, your family, and your camera, and soak in a full day of sun, sea, and show-stopping cars at Santa Monica Pier.
