The 2027 Cruz Car Show will be held on Sunday, August 8th. Check back later for more information.
The 2026 Cruz Car Show was a major success, featuring 500+ cars in downtown Port Orchard on 8/9/2026. The winners and sponsors are listed below.
The Cruz features over 500 cars, trucks and motorcycles on display with an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 people attending the show each year. It’s the largest one-day car show on the Kitsap Peninsula, and the largest public event in Port Orchard.
Cruz Director: Bill Hubbel –
Exhibit Car Information:
All makes, all models, and all years are welcome to exhibit.
Pre-registration is not available. The registration fee is $20, cash only, payable upon arrival.
Enter the show from Bay St, eastbound. Near the boat ramp.
To reduce vehicle traffic during the show, exhibit cars which expect to leave before 3pm are asked to park near the west end. Please inform the volunteers when you arrive, so that we may park you on the west end.
For safety, all cars leaving before 3pm must be escorted out. See the files section for a detailed policy.
