Sleek and powerful muscle cars

On Aug. 14, come on down and admire the gleaming chrome on sleek, American muscle cars right on the fairways of The Park Golf Course at This year’s new location on the fairways of The Park offers more space, meaning more cars — there are over 450 entries and even more to enjoy! You’ll see cars from all over B.C., including a 1927 Ford Model T roadster pick-up truck (the oldest car in the show!), American hot-rods and customs, and muscle cars of the 60s and 70s.

Hours run between 10:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday for the car show. There’s fun for the whole family with a live rock n’ roll band, Cruise Control, playing music through the decades, great food and drink and even ice cream. Comox Valley’s will have a DJ on site too!

Spectator entry is $10 per adult or $20 per family and proceeds go to the Comox Valley Child Development Association. This important local charity works with children, youth and young adults with diverse abilities to support learning and development for children with Autism, special needs, and those needing physical therapy, speech and language assistance, and occupational therapy. Additional donation boxes will be available on site.
