A cherished midweek staple in Downtown El Cajon returns with a lively showcase of classic and contemporary vehicles. Main Street and the Prescott Promenade fill with live tunes, plenty of food options, and a warm community atmosphere beneath the glow of El Cajon’s neon. Car show participants should avoid arriving early or parking on Main Street ahead of the permitted start, and citations may be issued for violations.
