Car Show calendar and photos from Southern Alberta

On a weekend with 24 shows in southern Alberta there were plenty of choices but I let the weather forecast determine my destination. It looked like it was going to be a pleasant day in Fort MacLeod so that was where I headed. It turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day and not a drop of rain while I was there. I left around 2 pm so I don't know if anything transpired … [Read more...] about Fort MacLeod – June 20, 2026 – 130 photos

The morning sun caught the deep blue paint of the 1929 Chevrolet Coupe parked outside the Aspen Heights Senior’s Residence, turning the courtyard into a temporary doorway to the past. Standing proudly beside it was Edgar, a man whose own life story is woven into the very fabric of the vintage automobile. To meet Edgar and look upon his meticulously restored coupe is to realize … [Read more...] about Edgar’s 1929 Chev – a doorway to the past

There’s nothing quite like a fantastic car show happening right in your backyard. Just a quick, 10-minute cruise from home, the Lift King shop in Calgary—famous for hosting the legendary Wild Wednesday meets—traded its usual routine to serve as the perfect backdrop for the Firebird Club’s annual show. While the lot was naturally packed with a stunning flock of legendary … [Read more...] about Calgary Firebird Club – June 14, 2026 – 82 photos

There’s nothing quite like a classic car show on a sun-drenched Alberta summer day, and the Beiseker Lions Club delivered a good one with their "Main Street Roar," held in conjunction with the Beiseker Country Fair. I got there in time to see the parade and I've included a few photos of the horses, floats, and a couple vintage Cadillacs.  The gorgeous, warm weather … [Read more...] about Beiseker – June 13, 2026 – 140 photos

The crisp morning air of a beautiful Alberta spring day provided the perfect setting for the Three Hills Street Freaks Show and Shine. Capturing these machines as they rolled into town offers a unique perspective on the event before the crowds gather and the hoods go up. The black 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee was a car I hadn't seen before and it was a standout. I briefly … [Read more...] about Three Hills Early Arrivals – June 6, 2026 – 200 photos

North Dakota is south of the area in Saskatchewan where I grew up and still have family and friends, so in addition to visiting and renewing acquaintances, I headed out to see what’s billed as the biggest, hottest car show in the Peace Garden state. Devil’s Lake turned out to be an incredibly welcoming and friendly community. I was treated like a celebrity by the organizers … [Read more...] about Devil’s Lake, North Dakota – Part 2, the Show – May 30, 2026 – 200 photos

Thirty-four years of Devil's Run and the streak remains unbroken. For the 34th consecutive time, Devil’s Lake managed to dodge the rain. The weather looked a bit sketchy to start the day but it turned out to be a nice warm day, albeit overcast and a bit grey. The car owners enjoyed a pancake breakfast at the staging area while waiting for the parade to begin. Among the crowd … [Read more...] about Devil’s Lake, North Dakota – Part 1, the Parade – May 30, 2026 – 180 photos

The cars came from far and wide to take in "Boogie in the Badlands" in Drumheller on a day that turned out to be ideal for a car show with sun and warm temperatures. Registrations numbered 385 but you could also see cars parked on the outskirts of the show. Social media is full of complimentary comments about the efficient organization and overall enjoyment of the … [Read more...] about Drumheller – May 23, 2026 – 300 photos

It's a tradition for dozens of classic vehicles to make the short drive out to the legendary Last Chance Saloon in Wayne on the evening before Boogie in the Badlands car show. Previous to the classic car caravan, I took my bike this year and rode the scenic and historic "11 Bridges" road between Rosedale and Wayne. If you’ve never ridden it, it’s a sensory … [Read more...] about Drumheller Preview – May 22, 2026 – 99 photos
