𝗖𝗥𝗨𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗡' 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗗𝗘: Santa Monica Hosts First-Ever Classic Car Show on Third Street Promenade


SANTA MONICA, CA — For the first time ever, the iconic 3rd Street Promenade was transformed into a boulevard of chrome and culture as classic car enthusiasts gathered for the inaugural Classic Car Show, held Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event was co-hosted by Pico Youth & Family Center (PYFC), Downtown Santa Monica, and @310RidersCarClub, and stretched from Broadway to Wilshire, drawing in families, collectors, and car lovers of all ages. Organizers emphasized the event as a celebration of unity, community, and culture, offering a moment of positivity during challenging times.

The street filled with polished classics, lowriders, and custom builds as DJ Jason Gnarlee provided the soundtrack for a festive day that also featured games, a 50/50 raffle, and food and drink discounts at local restaurants. Entry was free to the public, though vehicle registration was coordinated through organizer Anthony Quinn.

“Bringing this show to the Promenade isn’t just about the cars — it’s about creating space for togetherness and celebrating Santa Monica’s diverse spirit,” said organizers in a joint statement.

With limited spots for vehicles and strong turnout from the community, the event marked what many hope will become a new annual tradition on the Westside.
