Upcoming Car Shows in the Lower Mainland
As a professional used car buyer in the car buying industry for over 30 years, we have a deep love of all vehicles, from every walk of life. Whether it’s in good condition, bad condition, in between condition, or even a top tier supercar or rare vintage model. We love buying vehicles and we also love to see what is up and coming, and what once was.
That’s why after every long Metro Vancouver winter, we eagerly await the Lower Mainland car shows which remind us that Vancouver is more than just rain, we are also sunny days with cold drinks and hot cars.
Aside from checking out classic and vintage model cars at the seaside in White Rock, there are many other great cars shows throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley that take place throughout the summer and fall.
Metro Vancouver Cars Shows in 2024
If you’re looking for something fun and affordable to do this summer, get out and see the various kinds of vehicles that will be showcased at many local car shows.
Several of them are for fundraising purposes, and others are simply to present car owners’ pride and joy. Whichever the case, it’s a great time to get out in the sun and peruse some of the vehicles we love buying the MOST in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
2024 Metro Vancouver Car Show Locations
1. Brookswood Community Car Show – Langley

For many years, a Show N’ Shine took place in Downtown New Westminster. However, since the pandemic, they have not returned to present their highly sought after classic car display.
Fortunately, for classic car lovers, the Aldergrove Fair Days will be hosting their own Show N’ Shine this year during the month of July.

As a professional car buyer, we love buying classic and vintage vehicles in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. There are so many great cars to be purchased here, and no one offers more cash for cars than we do. So, if you own a classic vehicle that you are considering selling, sell it to Cash For Cars BC. NOBODY Pays More!
3. West Coast Daze Car Show – White Rock
Nothing says summer like a classic car show by the beach. And that’s exactly what’s offered at this years West Coasters Daze Car Show in White Rock, BC. You’ll get to see collector cars, hot rods, restomods, and various vintage motorcycles as well here.
Many of the customers that we buy classic cars from show the vehicles that they’ve restored or flipped here. Then once they move onto their next project, they sell their classic car to Cash For Cars BC. That’s why you’ll always find us at this particular car show every year!
Aside from the amazing vehicles that you’ll see here, you’ll find excellent fish and chips right across the street, public bathrooms on the premises (even though it’s a beach), and affordable all day parking for just $5.00. So, after you’ve taken in the sights at the car show, you can take a swim in the ocean, or go for a walk down at the White Rock pier.

4. Edmonds City Fair & Car Show – Burnaby
Burnaby was once one of the hottest spots to see classic cars and trucks. Unfortunately, as modern life advanced and Burnaby grew, you seldom see many of the beautiful classic vehicles that once roamed the streets daily.
However, there is still a chance to see some beautiful, rare, and of course, classic cars at this year’s Edmonds City Car Show, which takes place alongside a fair.
This event is perfect for the whole family and will be on during one of the nicest summer months in Metro Vancouver. Plus, admission is entirely free!

Naturally, in a place like Tsawwassen that is virtually always sunny (compared to the rest of Metro Vancouver anyways), their classic car show is fittingly titled, “The Sun Festival Classic Car Show”.
This is the place to see anything and everything vintage, as nearly the entire car show is focused on classic cars and trucks. However, there will also be displays of electric vehicles, supercars, rare imports, and some new domestic vehicles.

Thinking About Selling Your Car?
If you plan to visit the Sun Festival to scope out your next potential vehicle, take your time on deciding what you might want to get into next. However, don’t think about trading in your vehicle to the dealership, because Cash For Cars BC offers the MOST cash for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles.
We are an established professional used vehicle buyer serving Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and parts of Vancouver Island. We can buy your vehicle in as little as 20 minutes, and we buy vehicles ranging from $100-$100,000+. From junk cars to supercars, we buy them all!
6. PoCo Car Show – Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam, or “PoCo” as many people call it, is known for its gorgeous scenery, extensive hiking trails, and of course, the PoCo Car Show.
Every August, Downtown Port Coquitlam shuts down some of its main roads to allow public foot traffic only to view the hundreds of vehicles that will be on display.
Not only that, but they also have a classic car parade that kicks off the entire event, and plenty of vendors, foot trucks, and fun activities for the kids. If you live in the Tri-City area (or even if you don’t), you should clear you schedule for a fun-filled day at the PoCo Car Show this August.
You’ll see some vehicles that you won’t see anywhere else and get to spend one of the only days you can get in Downtown PoCo without battling rush hour traffic!

7.Everything Electric Canada – Vancouver
Many of us spend September long weekend camping for the last time of the summer season, thinking that the weekend fun we’ve been having is over. However, this year, there’s more to do after September long weekend, thanks to the Everything Electric Car Show that’s taking place in the second week of September in Downtown Vancouver.
At the Everything Electric Car Show, you’ll be able to test drive several new electric vehicles that have either just hit the market or are about to. If you’ve been considering switching to an EV or hybrid vehicle, this show is for you.
They will be showcasing anything and everything relating to electric vehicles including EV cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles. There will even be vendors promoting and selling e-scooters, e-bikes, and segways.

We Pay the MOST Cash for Hybrids & EV’s in Metro Vancouver
One of the types of vehicles that we as true Vancouverites are very passionate about buying these days, are clean energy vehicles. Downtown Vancouver is very well suited for EV’s and hybrids because on nearly every block there is a charging station. Furthermore, you don’t need a lot of range to traverse much of Metro Vancouver.
If you have an EV or hybrid that you are looking to sell or have a vehicle that you want to sell to help finance a new hybrid or EV, speak to one of our experienced car buyers today. We are the best way to sell your car in Vancouver for the MOST cash. Plus, we handle all the paperwork, we come to you, and NOBODY Pays More!
8. Mercedes-Benz Show & Shine – Vancouver
You might think that classic cars and sports cars are the only ones who get showcased at a show and shine or car show in Metro Vancouver. However, many automakers host their own show and shine to display their current vehicles, past classic edition vehicles, and of course, what’s new as well as up and coming. And that’s exactly what you can expect from Mercedes-Benz Vancouver this year.
At this year’s show and shine, you’ll see concept cars, hybrid models, their current line-up, and the 2025 line-up set to launch later this year. There will be games for the kids, Bavarian-themed snacks available for purchase, and prizes offered to the best vehicles on display. You’ll see new cars, old cars, and collector cars that Vancouver locals will be showcasing for a chance at a price.
You can feast your eyes on anything and everything Mercedes-Benz related, while checking out your potential next purchase. However, if you’re considering trading up once their new line-up is released, consider selling your car to Cash For Cars BC instead of trading it in. We have been buying luxury vehicles in Vancouver longer than many of the current luxury car dealerships have even been around.
While they may produce the cars, they certainly can’t offer as much cash for cars as we can, especially Mercedes vehicles. So, before you trade-in your current Mercedes-Benz vehicle (or any other for that matter), speak to Cash For Cars BC. We handle all the paperwork, we come to you, and NOBODY Pays More!
Where & When
Date:
September 8th, 2024

At this year’s Hot Rods & Heroes car show in Surrey, you’ll find various hot rods and restomods from every era. There will also be many other classic and vintage vehicles to set your sights on, including vintage military vehicles.
