Run to the Sun
October 21-25, 2026
It's time for the Annual Relics & Rods Run to the Sun, one of the largest car shows in the Southwest known to bring in OVER 800 vehicles from across the country.
Come out with family and friends and enjoy a variety of activities while admiring vehicles from 1977 and older. There will also be American Muscle cars from 1978 to current for Camaros, Challengers, Corvettes, and Mustangs.
The big show kick off is on Thursday evening at the Relics & Rods "Cruise Night" from 5-9pm on Lake Havasu City's Main Street (Downtown). Take a stroll up and down aisles of picture perfect collector and special interest automobiles. Fuel up at the local eateries. Ease up on the throttle and relax at the local pubs with your favorite brew. Entry to Cruise Night is free for spectators.
Friday and Saturday Show & Shine, Car Corral and Swap Meet takes place from 8am-4pm at the Bridgewater Links Golf Course at London Bridge Resort. Experience the dazzling array of the finest classic cars and trucks on display from across the nation. There will be plenty of shopping for everyone in our large vendor area. At 4pm on Friday there will be a Dinner/Dance at the London Bridge Resort Convention Center. Also, enjoy the very popular raffle after the Saturday 4pm award ceremony, plus giveaways and 50/50 drawings both Friday and Saturday.
If you'd like to see these gorgeous vehicles one more time, on Sunday you can head down to McCulloch Blvd (Downtown District) as some participants will be doing a final Parade down McCulloch at 9:30am from Birch Square to Capri. McCulloch will be open to traffic and not all vehicles will participate.
