The streets of downtown Solvang will fill with chrome, horsepower, and community pride as the 3rd Annual Viking Classic Car Show returns, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11.

Hosted by the Vikings of Solvang, the free-admission event invites classic car lovers, and curious visitors alike to enjoy a day of vintage vehicles, small-town charm, and charitable impact.

More than 200 pre-2000 cars and trucks will line the streets of Solvang, including everything from hot rods and muscle cars to sports cars, pickups, and fully restored classics.

New for 2025, the show introduces a Specialty Vehicles class, open to unique or unusual entries that don’t fit standard categories, including select post-1999 vehicles.

“This event is more than a car show, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community and compassion,” said Joe Tyson, Vikings chief. “We’re proud to bring people together in Solvang to admire these timeless machines while raising funds for a meaningful cause.”

Vehicle registration is now open; sign up at: www.vikingsofsolvang.org/carshow.

All proceeds from the show benefit the Vikings of Solvang Endowment Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing medical assistance to individuals and healthcare organizations throughout Santa Barbara County.

Thanks to the Vikings’ all-volunteer model, 100% of donations go directly to those in need.
