12th Annual Auto Show at Gualala Arts

On June 3, the 12th Anniversary Auto Show returns to the Mendonoma Coast, bringing along great looking “rolling art” to Gualala Arts. The annual show brings together automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, vans and perhaps a few surprises. Long a favorite on the coast, the Annual Auto Show is an event for the entire family, with free admission. Gates will be open on Saturday, June 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

If this all sounds great, it is, and if you are the proud owner of a classic car, truck motorcycle, bus, camper or van there is still time to get your registration in and spend the day listening to the oohs and ahs of delighted visitors. Entries must be received by May 15, 2023, so time is short. The registration fee is $50 per vehicle. This show will NOT be juried, but it will be judged and trophies will be awarded. Class trophies, Judges’ Awards, People’s and Ladies’ Choices and other special awards will be presented. Entries will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Only 100 entries will be accepted

If you are a car enthusiast and love the nostalgia of old cars, the sound and fury of dragsters, the art of hot rods, customs, and modifieds,or just looking at original cars you lusted after in your youth, you’ll love the Gualala Arts Auto Show. Located on the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Gualala Arts Center, this is a car show you can actually stroll through, talk to the owners and appreciate each car, truck or motorcycle for the piece of art that it is.

Once you’ve registered for the show, you’ll need to pre-check your entry between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 2, and then check in for the show itself on Saturday, June 3 between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Remember, registration closes on May 15.
