Nearby: 35th Annual Cayucos Car Show

The 35th Cayucos Car Show parks classics a block from the beach In Cayucos, up the coast. The 35th Annual Cayucos Car Show fills downtown with classic cars on Saturday, November 7 from 8 AM to 4 PM, lining Ocean Avenue a block up from the sand.

A live band, beer garden, and barbecue run alongside the show, and the event goes rain or shine, a November tradition that stretches the beach-town season one more weekend. Thirty-five years gives a car show deep roots, and this one draws entries from across the state, hot rods, customs, and survivors parked nose to tail down the same street the Antique Faire fills in October.

The beach-town setting is the differentiator: where else do you browse chrome with the ocean a block away and the pier at the end of the street? Spectating has been free in past years, with entrant registration handled through 805Tix.

Cayucos is about ten minutes up Highway 1 from Morro Bay, though parking fills on show day, so arriving early or carpooling is the move. Bring a hat and plan to make a day of it between the cars, the barbecue, and the beer garden.

The show anchors the tail end of the Cayucos event calendar each year, the last big street day before the town shifts into its December holiday weekend. For more car shows and Nearby Happenings up the coast this fall, see what is on the event calendar .
