California and Car Culture are One. And luckily so ~ with an estimated 13 million automobiles roaming the streets of the Greater Los Angeles Area, you can bet you’ll find knowledgeable automobile experts at some of the best car shows in the country.
While SoCal is home to some of the most well-known car shows in California, we pay attention to several regions around the Golden State to bring you a sampling of the most popular car shows, cruises, cruise-ins and automotive events throughout the state of California.
10th Annual Parking Lot Sale at California Car Cover. This is our annual clearance sale as we make room for holiday merchandise in our warehouse. Save on seasonal, open box and clearance items. Held in conjunction with our final Saturday Social of the season. Free to attend.

Our meeting spot is the parking lot area between Vons and Sears. There are no fees, registrations or obligations. It’s just a bunch of car enthusiasts that like to get their cars out and enjoy them.
The first annual Cars and Canvas will be an event to remember, one that merges beautiful art with the best transportation SoCal has on offer. The show will feature 5 local artists, one will create a piece of work inspired by the day’s events that we’ll auction off to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Five car classes will be judged including Best of Show, Best Bike, Best Competition Vehicle, Best Domestic and Best Import. We are fortunate to be able to host 100 cars and 30 bikes in the heart of LA’s Arts District. We’ll have Artists, authentic Texas BBQ, music, vendors, and great vehicles so enter your vehicle, buy tickets and put this on your calendar now!
The show seeks to celebrate the arts and high light the artistry of your pride and joy. The fabrication and custom designs you and/or your builder poured blood sweat and tears in to, probably a little dough too should be recognized and that is what this show is about.
Location is in LA’s Arts District.
