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 five 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, five have themes.

Opening Day!
Apr

Opening Day!

Opening Day marks our seventeenth 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. You don’t need a tent a burn barrel, but get there early if you want to show. We now move the line twice as fast as ever before, so it’s a lot less time waiting in line. 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 2026 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!

This is our first nationality theme day of the season, better known as our annual sausage fest. Ladies. 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 favorite sausage and come on out!

Retro Day!

Retro Day!

We had no idea what to expect two years ago when we kicked off this theme day but it sure turned into a hit. It was a lot of fun a a huge surprise by the great time everyone had so it’s now a regular thing. Sort of like the crazy one you once dated who was a lot of fun, but only once a year and felt lucky when there were no arrests or stomach pumps involved. 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 you can cough up. This is about hero cars. Come join the fun!

Italian Day!

Italian 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 up in those uncomfortable Italian shoes you love so much, even if you are crying on the inside the whole time.

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

First Invisible Show of 2026!

This is our first invisible show of the season and the one day everyone is excited to miss. It’s also the one day we get people from Fresno trying to find the damn thing. We’re off that Saturday because Redmond Town Center will be showing the World Cup. It’s not that it will actually be played there, but come on out if you’re into that thing. Details can be found here. We will otherwise see you next week, where we will all be visible.

Our Invisible Car Show!

Don’t look now, but it’s another invisible show, and another you will love not seeing. This is when none of us show up, except those who are dazed and confused. You can come watch that if you’re really bored. Redmond Town Center will be having their annual crafts fair and we will post more about it once RTC puts up the details.

We're on Vacation!

We’re all down in Monterey for Car Week so we take this Saturday off every year. This gives you a chance to get your act together and get down there for once. It gives all our volunteers some badly needed time off to go and join a week of car fun as a spectator, yet some of us volunteer down there too. See you all next week!

British Car Day!
Aug
29

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. We moved the show a little earlier this year so we’re more likely to have good weather. We didn’t want the show to always mimic London in winter.
