Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show September 26, 2026
The city of Arlington is hosting its 4th annual Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show on Saturday, September 26, 2026 from 9 am to 3 pm.
All registrations prepared for the June 6th event, which was cancelled due to rain, remain in place for the new September 26th date. If you are not available to participate on the new date, of course we will offer entry fee refunds. If we don’t hear from you, we will keep you registered.
If you have pre-registered and received a “CLEARED” dash pass, please print and put in your dashboard so that you are easily identifiable as a car owner who has completed registration.
Car Owner Arrival & Registration Time: 7:00-8:30am
Registration Check in Location: 500 E. Front St. (Off of Division, State Hwy US 80)
Arrival Instructions: Enter the event site via E. Division St. east of N. East St. Look for the black & white checkered flags on E. Division St. just east of on N. East St, turn south towards Front St. (See attached load in Map and Photo for reference) PLEASE FOLLOW EVENT STAFF INSTRUCTIONS.
There will be 2 lanes to line up in. If you have a CLEARED pass approach the lane on your RIGHT with signage that says CLEARED. If you have not completed registration (provided insurance & paid fee) approach the lane on your LEFT that says REGISTER.
When you reach the front of the line in the CLEARED line you will receive your credential and vehicle placard which should be kept in your windshield for the entire event for judging. You will be escorted to your parking spot by a member of our production team.
When you reach the front of the REGISTER line you will need to provide proof of insurance (bring a photocopy or be ready to show on your phone). You will then receive your credential and placard and be escorted to your parking space.
If you are bringing your car on a car trailer or if you are part of a large car club and want to be parked together, please contact our office. We cannot guarantee placement together unless you arrive together at Registration.
We are super excited to welcome you all to the Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show!
Car owners are invited to come inside the Arlington Music Hall on Center S. near Division for refreshments, to use the restrooms or to cool off for a few minutes!
We will have breakfast tacos and Inclusion coffee available at 7:45am as well as water and snacks throughout the day. The Music Hall concessions stand and bar will be open and there will be food vendors and food trucks at the Farmers Market on W. Front Street.
We will have car show ambassadors checking in with car owners throughout the day. Feel free to ask them for help if you need anything or if you need a break, they can stay with your car so you can step away.
