Saturday, May 2, 2026 · Downtown Riverside

On Saturday, May 2, Downtown Riverside roared to life for the 29th annual Show and Go Car Show — Riverside East Rotary’s signature event, presented together with our friends at the Old Farts Racing Team. From sunrise to trophy time, the streets filled with gleaming classic cars, custom hot rods, and motorcycles, and the community turned out in force to enjoy every minute of it.

Best of all, it’s all for a great cause: 100% of proceeds benefit local charities through the Riverside East Rotary Foundation. Thank you to everyone who registered a vehicle, sponsored, volunteered, and came out to cruise with us.

A huge thank-you to our sponsors, our many volunteers, the City of Riverside, and our longtime partners the Old Farts Racing Team — this event simply doesn’t happen without you. Thanks also to Rotarian Stan Fry for capturing the day so beautifully. Every dollar raised goes right back into our community. We can’t wait to do it all again — see you the first weekend of May 2027!
