Our Very Special Events

Turning it Up!

Every year we hold six special events where we dial it up with themes. This in addition to our regular every Saturday events. It’s just that we place more emphasis on these themes and use the center of the mall in addition to our normal lots. Think of it as us just dialing it up a notch six times a year. It’s like we’re using the good dishes or wearing the good undies (we know you do that). We’re a weekly event, except for rain, and of our events, six have themes.

Opening Day of E@RTC!
Apr

Opening Day of E@RTC!

Opening Day marks our sixteenth year celebration, and it’s always our biggest day of the season! This is the one day when we’re forced to turn many cars away because we’re at capacity, so arrive early. We now move the line twice as fast as ever before, so don’t miss out on the fun. If you plan to attend, give yourself plenty of time and follow the maps closely, or we’ll have to send you around—and none of us want that. If you’re a spectator, come early too and watch the cars roll in. We always set new records each year, and we expect 2025 to be no different, so join us for a fantastic first day of the season! See you on Opening Day! Come see who’s gotten fatter.

German Car Day!

German Car Day!

German Car Day kicks off our four special nationality car events each season. This event has become very popular over the years and often brings us to capacity early in the morning. There is massive love for all things German. It's not just Porsche, but also all other coveted German brands that meet the event's criteria. It's amazing what shows up each year, and you won't want to miss this spectacular day. All other car nationalities are always welcome as usual, but it's the day we showcase those special cars from Germany. So grab your sausage and come on out!

Our First Invisible Show of the Season!

Our First Invisible Show of the Season!

This is a remarkable event you will want to miss. It makes David Copperfield cry like a baby asking for our secret. This is the show where you see absolutely nothing. I do mean nothing but a beautiful parking lot and some folks buying sandwiches or just out milling around before the stores open. The lot will mostly be empty except for maybe a walk of shame car or two. It is the day Redmond Town Center has their own event so if you still need to get out of the house and feel artsy, come on out! Just don’t expect to see the usual cool cars. You might see a new Ford or something. You never know. Come out for a nothing burger!

Italian Car Day!
Jul
19

Italian Car Day!

This is our most popular special car day of the season. We get the best of the best of those Italian machines you all love and lust after, including you mechanics. This event draws spectators from all over the world and some of the most exquisite and expensive cars ever made. It’s a show you don’t want to miss and something well worth flying in to attend, assuming the weather cooperates. It’s so worth showing off those uncomfortable Italian shoes you love so much, even if you are crying on the inside.

All other car nationalities are still welcome like any other Saturday so come on out!

Retro Car Day!

Retro Car Day!

We had no idea what to expect last year when we kicked off this theme day. It was a lot of fun a a huge surprise by the great time everyone had so now it will be an annual event. Sort of like the crazy one you once dated who was a lot of fun once a year. Never mind. Retro is cars from the 80s and 90s. Think pop up headlights hero cars from the shows we all loved. Dress for the part and show up in 80s and 90s attire and give us your best Charlies Angles, A-Team, Miami Vice look. This is about hero cars. Come join the fun!

2nd Invisible Show of the Season!

2nd Invisible Show of the Season!

If you love that empty feeling, well, do we have a non-show for you! We have more of nothing this Saturday than any other non-car show in the US. This is when you show up and are extremely disappointed because all you see is some guy dropping off produce or another walk-of-shame car off in the distance, like a separated cow from the herd. We’re starting this event extra early for all of you who love to see empty parking lots and collect photos. Come meet Null and Void!

We take this Saturday off every season because we’re all heading to Monterey like migrating bats, except we don’t leave stuff for you to scrape off your shoe. Come to Monterey and see for yourself. It’s everyone and everything you normally get to see on a Saturday morning, except they charge you a lot of money.

British Car Day!
Sep

British Car Day!

This is always our last special event of the season and a E@RTC favorite because of what shows up. We see everything from British classic sports cars to lots of McLaren’s and everything in between. It’s always a big draw with some of the finest cars and people around. Keep an eye on the weather as this is about the time of year when anything could happen but in most years we’ve been just fine.
