About this event

Every October, the Gulf Coast community gathers at Navarre for one of the Panhandle's most beloved automotive celebrations โ€” and the 26th Annual Navarre Beach Car, Truck & Bike Show promises to be the biggest yet. Hundreds of meticulously restored classics, custom trucks, hot rods, and chrome-polished motorcycles fill the lot from early morning, drawing enthusiasts and families alike for a full day of chrome, color, and coastal camaraderie.

Presented by Pirates on the Panhandle, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the event is more than just a car show โ€” your entry fee and registration dollars go directly to community causes. Walk the rows at your own pace, cast a ballot in the People's Choice awards, and enjoy a relaxed Saturday atmosphere with live music, food vendors, and the kind of easygoing energy that makes Navarre one of the Gulf Coast's most welcoming towns.

Whether you're trailering in a showstopper or just arriving to admire the craftsmanship, this is a quintessential Florida Panhandle autumn weekend. Arrive early for the best parking and the freshest coffee โ€” the gates open at 8 AM and the lot fills fast.

Best for: Car enthusiasts, families, couples looking for a relaxed community outing

What to expect: Hundreds of show vehicles ranging from vintage classics to custom builds; People's Choice awards; live music; food vendors; $30 entry per vehicle

Planning tip: Arrive by 8 AM to secure good parking and catch all the early arrivals before the lot fills. Navarre Beach is a short drive away for lunch or a sunset dip afterward.

Cost: Vehicle entry $30; general spectator admission is free
