Colorado has one of the best car communities in the country—classics, exotics, hot rods, trucks, and full-on show builds. If you’re trying to plan your 2026 calendar, here are several of the biggest, most reliable events with published dates and locations.
Tri-State Auto Exhibition (Denver)
When: March 28–29, 2026
Where: National Western Complex / Events Center area, Denver, CO (4655 N Humboldt St area)
One of Denver’s long-running indoor auto show traditions. Great for strolling, photos, and seeing a wide mix of builds without worrying about weather.
Colorado Auto Show (Denver)
When: April 10–12, 2026
Where: Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202
This is the big Denver “auto show” style event (manufacturers + displays). If you like seeing new models, tech, and comparing vehicles in one place, this is the one.
Colorado Concours d’Elegance & Exotic Sports Car Show (Littleton)
When: Sunday, June 7, 2026 (9am–3pm) (date listed as subject to change)
Where: Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S Santa Fe, Littleton, CO 80120
This is a great one for exotic and high-end cars plus immaculate classics—more “show lawn” energy than a parking-lot meet.
NSRA Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals (Pueblo)
When: June 26–28, 2026
Where: Colorado State Fairgrounds, Pueblo, CO
A major regional street rod event with a big turnout and full weekend vibe. If you’re into hot rods, muscle, customs, and older builds, this is a staple.
Goodguys Griot’s Garage Colorado Nationals (Loveland)
When: September 11–13, 2026
Where: The Ranch Events Complex, Loveland, CO
This is one of the biggest “must-go” shows on the Front Range—easy drive from the Denver metro and packed with hot rods, customs, classics, and vendors.
Quick note before you go
Even official schedules can shift. Before you drive, confirm the date/time and venue on the organizer’s page the week of the event—especially for outdoor shows and weather-dependent weekends.
Whether you’re into classics, exotics, street rods, or brand-new tech, Colorado has a show for you. Mark a few of these on your calendar, invite a friend, and turn the trip into a mini road trip—half the fun is the drive.
