Your Guide to Portland & Vancouver Car Shows for the Rest of Summer 2026
News
Every car show, cruise-in, and fly-in left on the Portland/Vancouver calendar for the rest of summer 2026 — plus how to get your paint show-field-ready.
Summer's already delivered Cruise the Couve and Muscle Car Mania — but the local car show calendar is far from done. Between now and the last weekend of September, there's a show, cruise-in, or fly-in happening almost every weekend within a half hour of the shop. Whether you're rolling up in a daily driver or a garage-kept classic, here's what's left on the calendar — and how to make sure your car looks the part when you park it on the show field.
AUGUST
Binteeji 2026 — Saturday, August 2, 11 a.m., Vancouver Waterfront (800 W Columbia Way). A community festival with a car show component right on the Columbia River waterfront.
Slo Poks Car Club Show and Shine — Saturday, August 8, Clark County. One of the county's longest-running club shows, always a good mix of classics and customs.
Lowrider Magazine Super Show — Saturday, August 8, 11 a.m., Portland Expo Center. A big one if you're into lowriders and custom paint — expect some serious show cars.
Hot Summer Nights — every Wednesday this summer, 4 p.m., 1940 N Victory Blvd, Portland. A standing weeknight cruise-in — good one to keep in your regular rotation if you want a low-key midweek show fix.
Cedars North W58 Fly-In and Car Show — Saturday, August 22, Clark County. Part car show, part fly-in — expect 4,000+ aviation and automotive enthusiasts on the field.
9th Annual Taste of Motorsports — Saturday, August 29, 7:30 a.m., Portland International Raceway. Track-day energy meets car show — a good one if you want to see cars actually run, not just sit.
SEPTEMBER
All British Field Meet — Friday through Sunday, September 4-6, Portland International Raceway. The Pacific Northwest's marquee British car event — MGs, Jaguars, Triumphs, Minis, and more, all in one place for a full weekend.
Camas Car Show — Saturday, September 12, Camas, WA. Traditionally the show that closes out the Clark County season — a great one to save your best turnout for.
JSTSTANCE — Sunday, September 20, 12-5 p.m., Portland Expo Center. Stance and modified-culture show for the lower, wider crowd.
Cascadia Tech Foundation SummerFest Cruise-In — Saturday, September 19, 11 a.m., Vancouver, WA. Community cruise-in supporting local tech education.
His Harvest Car Show Fundraiser — Saturday, September 19, 1 p.m., 11005 NE Hwy 99, Vancouver. A for-a-cause show worth the entry fee.
EVERY FRIDAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 11
Alderbrook Park Friday Night Cruise-In — 4-8 p.m. every Friday through September 11, 24414 NE Westerholm Rd, Brush Prairie. No show car required — just show up and hang out.
GET YOUR CAR SHOW-READY
A show field is the least forgiving place for swirl marks, water spots, and dull paint — everyone's standing three feet away in direct sunlight. If it's been a while since your car had real attention, here's where most show-goers start:
A full detail if the interior needs a reset before you're letting strangers peek in your windows.
Paint correction and ceramic coating if you want that wet-look shine and paint that beads off dust between shows.
A PPF touch-up if the front end's picked up chips from all the summer road trips to and from these events.
