Gasparilla Cars in the Park 2026

Free spectator entry brings classic cars, motorcycles and family activities to Carrollwood Village Park, with exhibitor setup earlier.

Classic cars, collectible trucks and motorcycles fill Carrollwood Village Park on December 5, with public visiting hours listed by event partner Humane Society of Tampa Bay as 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Public admission is free, with live entertainment, food vendors, family activities and an HSTB booth. Vehicle exhibitors pay separate entry fees: $25 preregistration or $30 onsite if space remains; the $60 Car Corral is for selling a vehicle, not spectator admission. Car-club arrival at 8 a.m. and other exhibitor arrival at 9 a.m. are setup windows, not the public opening. Food, drinks and auction purchases are extra. The event supports Champions for Children; check the organizer for updates.
