Revving up at La Quinta Carshow

La Quinta is full of great activities and things to-do. From hiking and biking to shopping and dinning with plenty of events and festivals throughout the year, there is something for everyone. The Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of La Quinta, is proud to present the 13th Annual La Quinta Hot Rod and Custom Car Show on Saturday, February 23rd. This popular event is great family fun: live music, family fun area, food vendors, beer garden, and more.

Admission is FREE and open to the public. The show will again be held in La Quinta Community Park located at 77-865 Avenida Montezuma, in La Quinta Cove from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Bring the whole family and enjoy a fun day in beautiful La Quinta.

“This is a great event to attend for car enthusiasts, but also the general public,” said Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Joshua Bonner. “The spectacle of these classic cars against the backdrop of La Quinta’s gorgeous natural landscape is really something to behold.”

The cars will be spread out around the spacious grounds of the park, allowing viewers to take their time walking around and comfortably enjoying each car on display. This year the show will recognize several prize-winning categories, including Best Street Rod, Best Classic, Best Muscle Car, and Best Sports Car. Interested in participating? Car and motorcycle participants may register online or by emailing events@gcvcc.org. Preregistered vehicles are $35 and motorcycles are $25; both are $45 the day of the event at the gate.

After spending time taking in the hot rods, motorcycles and classic cars, attendees can continue to enjoy La Quinta. The park is in close proximity to Old Town La Quinta. Nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, you will discover more than 30 cafes, shops, and boutiques in a village atmosphere. Dine al fresco, browse seasonal art shows, and shop for locally sourced fashion and gifts. “It’s a great opportunity to come out and enjoy the car show, explore the cove and spend the day in La Quinta,” says Jeff Fishbein, Chairman of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce.

The 13th Annual La Quinta Hot Rod and Custom Car Show is brought to you by the City of La Quinta and Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. For additional information about the show visit lqcarshow.com, or contact the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce at 760.347.0676.
