Get ready for one of the largest classic car shows in the country. The 40th Annual Classic at Pismo Beach runs from May 29 through May 31, 2026 with thousands of visitors. Car lovers gather for a busy weekend with hundreds of show cars, live music, great food, and quality beach time.

The Classic at Pismo Beach brings car lovers from all over the world to our beach town. Classic cars take over the streets and major names like CarQuest, Mother’s Polish, Ford Motor Co., and Budweiser roll in with big rigs. What started in the early ’80s has become one of the best classic car shows on the West Coast.

The event also gives back. The Just Cruzin’ Life Foundation, through a live auction, raises money for causes like Folds of Honor, Ronald McDonald House, and the Pismo Beach K-9 Unit.

Admission is free to attend, but those looking to show vehicles must register with event organizers.
