Your favorite tradition is back. The Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show returns Saturday, June 6, 2026.
Mark your calendars as Downtown Arlington welcomes car lovers, families and community members for a day filled with vintage style. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Vandergriff Town Center at 200 N.

But the Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show is about more than just the cars. It’s about the people, the passion and the community that brings it all together.
There will be a dedicated kids area featuring activities designed to keep the youngest car enthusiasts entertained throughout the day. Enjoy live music from our car show DJ’s as you explore Downtown Arlington.
