As the automotive industry drives into the future, it’s important for car enthusiasts to remain in the driver’s seat.
Whether you’re looking to buy classic cars or superbikes or just want to take a look around and experience the best of the auto world, there’s something at these roadshows for every enthusiast. We explore the 8 biggest car shows in the world happening this year and see what they have to offer.
1. Overland Expo
Overlanding was already growing by leaps and bounds prior to COVID, but if anything, this vehicle-based adventure travel pastime has been turbocharged by the pandemic. Perhaps that should come as no surprise because with its inherent emphasis on off-the-beaten-path exploration, camping, and self-reliance, Overlanding is all but tailor-made for these socially distanced times.
Whether you’re just looking to dip your hiking boot into this activity for the first time or you’re or a seasoned pro with a dedicated off-road rig or an RV with piles of gear, there are few better places to learn more about this outdoor hobby and buy gear to support it than Overland Expo. This series of family-friendly events travels across the country from Arizona to Virginia between May and October, and naturally, there’s plenty of camping space for attendees. The event is slated to take place at various locations.
Overland Expo West – May 20-22 – Flagstaff, Arizona
Overland Expo Mountain West – Aug. 26-28 – Loveland, Colorado
Overland Expo East – Oct 7-9 – Arrington, Virginia
2. Radwood
Radwood, the 1980s and ’90s-themed car show, continues to grow in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Focused on automobiles produced from 1980 to 1999, Radwood doesn’t just celebrate those rare and expensive models that are starting to acquire classic status. It also wholeheartedly embraces period custom cars and individually imported vehicles from Japan and Europe. Basically, Radwood keeps it weird in the best way possible.

5. Bonneville Speed Week
Set on the vast salt flats of northwest Utah, Bonneville Speed Week has played host to Land Speed Record (LSR) attempts for over a century. As a 30,000-acre temple of speed, the Bonneville Salt Flats really picked up momentum in the 1930s. If you’re a casual automotive fan and need things like adjacent rock concerts to have a good time, this might not be the event for you. That said, anyone who is obsessed with going fast and with automotive history knows that Bonneville Speed Week deserves a top spot on their bucket list.
There are record classes for just about every type of vehicle and method of power, from modern and vintage streetcars to commercial semi-trucks, motorcycles, and even pedal-powered bikes.
The event is slated to take place between August 6 – August 12 in 2022. To book your tickets, click here.
6. Monterey Car Week
The largest automobilia show in America, Monterey Car Week is nothing less than the nexus of America’s collector-car universe. This 10-day-long series of car shows, auctions, cruise-ins, and vintage racing happenings is a spectacle where you’ll see more blue-chip classics and exotics in the parking lots of many of these events than you’ll see entered in other top-notch car shows.
This epic celebration of automotive beauty is held at the beautifully renovated Monterey Conference Center, just steps away from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf.
