Car Show calendar and photos from Southern Alberta

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 – 97 photos

I ended up in Regina this weekend due to a family emergency. Luckily I found a car show about 30 minutes south of Regina in Milestone, SK. I was thrilled to run into Gary from Coronach with his 64 Olds Starfire. Gary was the poster boy for the Midale car show last year. I've added the poster to the gallery below.  … [Read more...] about Milestone, SK – May 10, 2026 – 40 photos

I look forward to the annual trek to Big Sky Country every spring, and this year’s Great Falls, Montana “Crusin’ the Drag” on Saturday, May 2 did not disappoint. There were hundreds of classic vehicles and thousands of spectators on a warm spring day with lots of sunshine. The early morning was crisp and cool when I arrived at 6:15 am to take pictures of the cars as they … [Read more...] about Great Falls, Montana – May 2, 2026 – 220 photos

Amy and Kyle drove their stunning 1935 Chev from Kalispell to show it at tomorrow's "Cruisin' the Drag" in Great Falls, Montana.

I ran into Ken from Calgary who is here with his Jaguar. Doug and Mitch drove all the way … [Read more...] about Great Falls, Montana – Preview – May 1, 2026 – 150 photos

Car show season surged into high-gear on Sunday at Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary for the Spring Thaw event. The turnout was nothing short of spectacular considering there was a raging blizzard and a foot of snow on the ground on Thursday. Anecdotal reports give the vehicle count at 375 and up. Early morning arrivals could see their breath but as the sun … [Read more...] about Calgary Spring Thaw – Apr 19, 2026 – 250 photos
