Concours in the Hills at Fountain Park, Fountain Hills

Every February, you can join tens of thousands of hobbyists, collectors, and automotive curators at the “Greatest Car Show on Grass.” Concours in the Hills is an annual outdoor car show in Fountain Hills that surrounds the World Famous Fountain. With the tallest fountain in the U.S. in sight, iconic mountain ranges as your backdrop, and over 1,000 premier vehicles, your views are nothing short of spectacular. See everything from European and Asian cars to race cars, off-road vehicles, and high-performance EVs, to sports cars, military vehicles, motorcycles, and classic automobiles. Partake in hours of browsing, dealer and after-market discussions, live music, and waterside dining when you roll up to the occasion. Your attendance supports the Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and Cardiothoracic Surgery. Interactive booths–like Discount Tire’s Pit Stop Competition–and food truck options can be found at the event.

Best of Arizona Cars and Coffee at Fountain Park, Fountain Hills

Once a year, Arizona Cars and Coffee–a car show organizer that coordinates events across Phoenix, Tucson, and Prescott–hosts a “best of” event featuring some of its finest vehicles and standout automobiles. Spend your day exploring supercars, muscle cars, classic vehicles, off-roading vehicles, premium EVs, custom builds, and so much more. The two-part event provides unique experiences for car lovers in a “car show meets park” atmosphere with plenty of food options (on the grass and nearby in Downtown Fountain Hills). If you’re unable to make this year’s Best of Arizona’s Cars and Coffee event, roll up to any of their 20 outings to join this community of auto enthusiasts.

Cruisin @ Phil's at Phil’s Filling Station, Downtown Fountain Hills

Vintage auto enthusiasts love Cruisin @ Phil's. This small-town car event leaves a big impression with classic cars, custom hot rods, muscle cars, and rare finds on display behind Phil’s Filling Station (a 50s-style restaurant with vintage Coca-Cola decor). Cruise into Town most Sunday mornings to mingle with local motorheads, explore the interior and exterior of premier vehicles, eat signature dishes, and see the World Famous Fountain at this standout car show.

The Arizona International Auto Show at Phoenix Convention Center West & North, Downtown Phoenix

Rev up for one of AZ’s most anticipated car events: The Arizona International Auto Show! Every November, you can join this 4-day car show centered around hundreds of brand-new vehicles. From spacious SUVs and dynamic crossovers to sleek sedans, powerful pick-up trucks, cutting-edge EVs, and finally, exotic vehicles, luxury automobiles, and tricked-out lowriders, you can see the latest and greatest in the automotive world. Product specialists are on-site to guide you through model comparisons, and some brands (including FORD and Cadillac) offer same-day test drives. For families with kids ages 3-7, test drive battery-powered cars on the special kids’ zone racetrack.

Jackson Cruise Nights at East Jackson Street, Downtown Phoenix

Petrolheads, cruisers, and auto enthusiasts, don’t miss out on this “vibe.” Jackson Cruise Nights invites lowriders, classic car owners, and hot-rod enthusiasts to gather and socialize throughout Downtown Phoenix. Unlike other classic car shows you find around Phoenix, this event is a true cruise. Roll down Jackson Street at a low speed or walk the neighborhood to hear upbeat music and engines revving, and to see inside open hoods.
