July 18-19, 2026 Weekend
Sponsored by Caliente Pizza & Draft House
Schenley Park sets the stage for one of the nation’s largest car shows during Race Weekend, July 18-19, 2026. As the grand finale of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Motorsport Festival, the International Car Show, presented by Caliente Pizza & Draft House. It brings together more than 3,000 cars across 20 unique displays on the fairways of the Bob O’Connor Golf Course.
This is a show for everyone. No invitation or club membership is required—just bring your car and be part of the action. All makes, models, years, and conditions are welcome. Participants enjoy premium parking with a front-row view of vintage racing on the streets surrounding the course.
Explore the diverse displays, where several clubs offer judging, while most are relaxed, display-only gatherings focused on sharing a passion for cars. It’s one large, welcoming automotive community.
Registration fees cover both days of the event; there is no single-day option. Throughout the weekend, enjoy a wide variety of food and beverage vendors across the venue to round out the experience.
Whether you’re a dedicated enthusiast or simply looking for a great summer event, the International Car Show delivers a vibrant, can’t-miss celebration of automotive passion. Details
