is there a car show this weekend near me

[Tonya]

Yes, there are likely several car shows happening near you this weekend. The fastest way to find one is to search online. Open your favorite search engine and type in phrases like "car shows near me this weekend" or "auto events [Your City Name]." Websites like Eventbrite, Meetup, and dedicated automotive event calendars are excellent resources. Local dealerships, especially those selling performance or classic cars, often host or sponsor weekend events, so checking their social media pages can be very effective.

Don't overlook community hubs. A quick search on Facebook for local car enthusiast groups will often have event announcements. Community calendars on your city's official website or local news station websites are also reliable sources. For a more spontaneous approach, cruise nights are informal weekly gatherings that can point you to larger weekend shows; participants usually know the local event schedule.

The type of show varies widely. You might find everything from a small cars and coffee meetup in a shopping center parking lot to a major concours d'élegance or a specialized EV expos. The table below shows common types of weekend car events to help you identify what you're looking for.

Event Type	Typical Scale	Common Focus	Best For
Cars & Coffee	Small to Medium	All Enthusiast Cars (Classic, Modern, Tuner)	Casual viewing, socializing
Cruise-In / Cruise Night	Small	Classic American Muscle, Hot Rods	Nostalgia, informal atmosphere
Concours d'Elegance	Large	Pristine Classic & Luxury Cars	Seeing rare, museum-quality vehicles
Car Show / Fair	Medium to Large	Broad mix, often with judging & awards	Family outing, variety of vehicles
SCCA Autocross	Medium	Sports Cars, Modified Vehicles	Watching amateur timed racing
EV Expo / Showcase	Small to Medium	Electric Vehicles, New Models	Learning about new technology

Before you go, always double-check the event details online for the exact start time, entry fee (if any), and address. Weather can also be a factor, so a last-minute check is wise. With a little digging, you're almost guaranteed to find something interesting to see.

Check Facebook right now. Seriously, search for "[Your Town] Car Club" or "Car Meet." Those groups are the first to post about weekend shows. Also, just drive by any big shopping mall parking lot on Saturday morning around 8 or 9 AM. That's prime time for a casual cars and coffee gathering. You’ll probably spot a cluster of cool cars and can just pull in.

I find that local dealerships are a great, often overlooked resource. High-end brands like Porsche or classic car dealers frequently host weekend events to draw a crowd. A quick look at their Instagram or Facebook page usually reveals any scheduled shows. It’s a win-win; you get a free car show, and they get potential customers in a low-pressure environment. The cars are usually high-quality and well-maintained.

My method is to use a couple of specific websites that aggregate these events. Go to sites like Autoweek's event calendar or Hemmings.com. They have extensive, searchable databases you can filter by zip code and date. It’s more reliable than hoping a social media algorithm shows you the right post. This way, you get a complete list of sanctioned events, including major national shows that might be touring in your area.
