Parksville Car & Bike Show Now Open for Registration
​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 guarantee your 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.

Sponsor Spotlight -
Mid Island Co-Op
For more than 65 years, Mid Island Co-op has been a cornerstone of Central and Northern Vancouver Island. Formerly known as Hub Co-op, the organization was founded in Nanaimo in 1959 by a small group of local citizens with a shared goal of providing accessible goods and services to their members. What began with just a handful of gas stations has grown into a network of more than 40 businesses, including gas bars, convenience stores, commercial cardlocks, liquor stores, and food retail.
Today, Mid Island Co-op proudly serves islanders from the Cowichan Valley to Port Hardy, as well as many of the communities in between, including Gabriola Island and Salt Spring Island.
While the retail co-op has expanded and diversified over time, its purpose has remained the same. It remains firmly rooted in its co-operative principles and continues to be democratically led, community-focused, and locally owned by more than 80,000 member-owners. Mid Island Co-op takes pride in being deeply committed to its people — one that chooses to be an active partner in building, strengthening and investing in the local community. That's what makes Mid Island Co-op a different kind of business.
