Cerritos College Car Show | 2026 | Norwalk, CA
Cerritos College Car Show is rolling back into Norwalk with a second-year campus show that gives local rides a clean morning spotlight.
This one has a bright, easy campus feel to it. The event is back by popular demand, and that usually says something about the first year’s turnout. The lineup should have room for a fun mix of cars, from classic muscle and hot rods to newer performance builds, customs, trucks, and clean daily drivers that owners are proud to show off. It sounds like the kind of morning where people can walk the lot, talk builds, and catch a few cars they may not see at the usual weekend meet.
Hosted by Cerritos College, the show keeps things simple while still giving participants a little extra to look forward to. Registered car show entries receive an event T-shirt, and trophies will go to top vehicles in select categories. Roll-in starts early, which should help the lot fill in before spectators start making their first laps. The early bird registration rate is listed at $25 through May 16, so owners planning to bring a vehicle should keep that deadline in mind.
Happening at Cerritos College Parking Lot 1 in Los Angeles County, the setting gives the show a straightforward, open layout that works well for a morning car event. A college campus backdrop also gives it a different feel from a diner meet or shopping center cruise night. Expect the strongest moments to come once the rows settle in and the variety starts to show, with older classics, modern sports cars, student-owned builds, and local favorites sharing the same space.
Bring your car if you have one to flex, or just swing by and take a slow walk through the lot. Cerritos College Car Show feels like the kind of local morning where the trophies matter, but the better part may be seeing what people around the community have been building, driving, and keeping clean.
