California and Car Shows go hand-in-hand. There are quite a few car shows in the summertime throughout California, ranging from small, private shows to large extravagant shows that include plenty of opportunity to not only see the most exclusive cars the state has to offer, but to also win great prizes, meet like-minded car enthusiasts, enjoy cuisine prepared by local vendors and snap some super cool photos of some of the hottest cars around.

We have prepared a list of upcoming events. Check it out and be sure to bring the entire family for a fun-filled day at an event near you!
