The 2026 Parksville Car & Bike Show is one for the books.

On Sunday, July 5th, Parksville Community Park came alive with the gleam of chrome, the rumble of engines, and the biggest turnout we could have hoped for. More than 250  classic cars, customs, hot rods, trucks, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles lined the oceanfront — and thousands of you came out to enjoy them under a beautiful Vancouver Island summer sky. 

​

From the early-morning staging to the last cars rolling out, it was everything we dreamed this show could be: a fun, welcoming, well-run celebration of Island car culture, set against the sandy beaches and boardwalk of one of the coast's most beautiful parks.

​

To everyone who made it happen — thank you.

Our Sponsors — This event simply would not exist without the generous local and regional businesses who believed in it from day one. Your support turned an idea into a signature community event. We're proud to have you alongside us.

​

Our Volunteers — The heart of the show. From staging and registration to parking, setup, and cleanup, our volunteers gave their weekend so that everyone else could enjoy theirs. Every smile at the gate and every helping hand on the field made a difference.

​

Our Participants  — To the owners who polished, prepped, and proudly displayed their vehicles: you are the show. Thank you for sharing your passion, your stories, and your incredible machines with the community.

​

And Our Community  — The Shriners for the beloved Pancake Breakfast, The Apollos for keeping the day full of music, our food vendors, the Parksville Downtown Business Association, and the Friday cruise and Saturday Meet & Greet crews — thank you for a full weekend of festivities

🚗 See You Next Year!

Thank you, Parksville. This is just the beginning.
