32nd Annual Belmont Shore Car Show

The Belmont Shore Business Association's Annual Belmont Shore Car Show draws approx. 50,000 people to the 14 block stretch of East Second Street which is closed from Bayshore Avenue to Livingston Avenue for the event. Held the Sunday after Labor Day each year, the event is a combination of street fair and car show with vendor booths, local shops interacting with crowds and cars galore. The show is now open to all years of modified vehicles.

See around 700 classic cars on display in one of the largest car shows of its kind on the West Coast. The side streets that intersect with Second Street are closed to the alleys for the purpose of exhibiting cars.

What makes this car show unique is its location. Taking place on the usually busy Second Street (driven by an estimated 40,000 vehicles per day), attendees have the opportunity to intermix shopping and dining with viewing the gorgeous automobiles.

Belmont Shore's more than 50 unique and upscale shops and some 50 restaurants, cafes and sweet shops make for plenty to see and do. You also can't beat the weather of this beachside town with the warm sun and ocean breezes.

But of course it's the cars that bring the large crowd. You can expect to find some of the first automobiles ever made as well as classic roadsters, coupes, sedans, convertibles, muscle cars, sports cars, hot rods and low riders from the 1920's through the mid 1970's. Many cars are one-of-a-kind, limited editions or customized. It's estimated that the total value of the cars on display will be in the ballpark of $25 million!
