Classic Car Show

Dana Point, CA

Every year, the seaside charm of Dana Point transforms into a haven for car enthusiasts and the community during the much-anticipated Dana Point Classic Car Show. Hosted along the scenic stretch of Del Prado Avenue in the Dana Point Lantern District, this vibrant event draws thousands of visitors and locals alike to enjoy more than 300 classic and custom cars—from Mustangs and Chevys to rare European collectibles and hot rods gleaming under the Southern California sun.

This year’s event will take place Sunday, August 24, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Del Prado Avenue and is free for spectators and is perfect for families and friends of all ages, including well-behaved, leashed dogs.

Organized by the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, the show is a community celebration that reflects the city’s unique blend of coastal elegance and small-town spirit. Music sets the tone, while local restaurants and vendors serve up flavorful bites and craft brews, turning the event into a full-day experience for attendees of all ages. Adults 21 years and older can fuel up at Pit Stop Stations and sip on craft beer, wine, and spirits throughout the four-block radius of the event. Spectators can also shop from more than 40 local artists, makers, and vendors.

What sets the Dana Point Classic Car Show apart is its mix of nostalgia and laid-back sophistication. It’s a chance for longtime collectors, casual fans, and curious visitors alike to immerse themselves in automotive history while enjoying one of Orange County’s most picturesque coastal towns. Judges award top honors in several categories, but for many, the true prize is simply the opportunity to connect—car to car, neighbor to neighbor.

With stunning cars, great food and drink, entertainment, vendors, and a welcoming community vibe, the Dana Point Classic Car Show is more than an event—it’s a reminder of what makes this coastal town such a special place to live, visit, and celebrate.
