Parksville Car & Bike Show Now Open for Registration

The Parksville Car & Bike Show is Back!

Sunday, July 5th, 2026

About the Show

The Parksville Car & Bike Show is a free public event celebrating Vancouver Island car culture in a fun, welcoming, and well-organized setting. Come out and enjoy a great mix of classic cars, customs, hot rods, and bikes — all brought together by passionate enthusiasts against the backdrop of a vibrant Parksville summer weekend.

Registration — Limited Spots This Year

Due to the relocation of the Sandcastle Competition within Parksville Community Park, available space for the car show has been reduced in 2026. Registration is set at 200 vehicles, and will guaranty our spot in the show. We strongly encourage show participants to register early to avoid disappointment. Arrivals the day of the show will be parked after the registered vehicles as space permits.

Note: Registration is required for show participants only — the general public is welcome to attend free of charge, no registration needed.
