Gasparilla Cars-In-The-Park

Gasparilla Cars-In-The-Park returns to Carrollwood Village Park in Tampa on Saturday, December 5, 2026, presented by Gasparilla Concours d’Elegance, Hillsborough County, and Carrollwood Park Conservancy. The gathering welcomes over 300 collectible cars, trucks, and motorcycles ranging from 1900 through the modern era, including pre-war classics, post-war models, hot rods, resto-mods, exotics, and sports cars.

Spectator admission is completely free for the public. Vehicle show pre-registration is $25 ($30 day of show if space permits), and a designated Car Corral is available for $60 for owners looking to market and sell their vehicles. Proceeds from the event benefit Champions for Children, an organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect across Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.

An AACA-certified judging team will evaluate entered vehicles and award custom Gasparilla trophies, with participants earning an extra judging point if dressed in period attire. Attendees can also enjoy live entertainment, food trucks, the Keel Farms Wine & Beer Garden, a vintage fashion show, a special appearance by GasparSanta, and park amenities including dog parks, playgrounds, and nature trails.
