A Texas car year, in calendar order
Houston and Austin in April, Seabrook at the end of April, then Fort Worth in September. Only events with a recently confirmed edition are listed.
Houston Art Car Parade & Festival
Houston Art Car Parade (opens in a new tab)A parade of art cars: vehicles their owners have modified to reflect their own style and creativity. It is presented by The Orange Show.
Suits: Anyone who wants something different from a classic-car show.
Tip: The organiser's page does not yet list a start time, so confirm it closer to the date.
Lonestar Round Up
Lonestar Round Up (opens in a new tab)An outdoor gathering of classic hot rods and custom cars with live music, art and family activities. A wristband covers both days; the organiser lists kids under 12 and parking as free.
Suits: Hot rod and custom fans, and anyone who likes a show with music.
Tip: Because the wristband covers both days, plan to go Friday and Saturday if you are travelling in.
Keels & Wheels Concours d'Elegance
Keels & Wheels (opens in a new tab)A concours for classic cars and antique boats. The organiser, a charity, reports over 200 cars and boats each year and calls it the largest classic car and antique boat show in the United States.
Suits: Concours fans, and anyone who likes boats as much as cars.
Tip: Ticket prices are not on the main page, so check the organiser's site before you go.
Goodguys Summit Racing Lone Star Nationals
Goodguys (opens in a new tab)A Goodguys show for rods, customs, classics, muscle cars, imports and trucks through 1999. Goodguys estimates over 2,500 vehicles and lists AutoCross, a lowrider showcase, a nitro dragster exhibition and a swap meet.
Suits: Fans of hot rods and muscle cars who want a big weekend.
Tip: Show-car registration includes two weekend spectator passes, and parking was listed at $10.
Dates and details change
Organisers move dates, venues and prices from year to year, and some events are cancelled. “2027 date announced” (green) means the organiser's own site had published the date when this page was last checked. “2027 date listed, confirm with organiser” means the date comes from trade press or third-party listings, not the organiser. “2027 date to be confirmed” means no 2027 date had been published, and the page only describes the usual pattern. Always confirm with the organiser using the link on each listing before you book travel. Most of these are outdoor events, so check each organiser's weather policy.
