SoCal Drive Experience is Launching Spring 2027

For decades, the OC Auto Show has been a celebrated Orange County tradition — and one of the top ten auto shows in the nation. Over the last ten years, brand-hosted ride-and-drives grew to as many as 20 a year, and you told us exactly what you wanted more of: the chance to actually drive and experience the vehicles you love.

So we're building it! The SoCal Drive Experience is a bigger, more experiential celebration of Southern California car culture and lifestyle – bringing the cars of the past, present and future together in one place.

The expanded event will feature:

• More interactive driving experiences throughout the event

• An all-new Off-Road Experience, with opportunities to drive and experience vehicles built for adventure

• Cars & Coffee, a social gathering for car lovers and their rides

• More ways to explore, connect and celebrate SoCal's unique automotive culture

We're shifting to Spring 2027 as we launch this new event in a new venue and bring the expanded vision to life. Venue and exact dates will be announced soon!
