Alfa Romeo Car Show

Sunday, March 29 – 9 am – 1 pm

If you made it to Petals & Pistons last year, you know this isn’t your typical car show.

Join us again next Sunday, March 29 from 9 am to 1 pm as the Alfa Romeo Owners of Southern California launch their 2026 Concorso season at the Gardens.
This year brings a new mix of vintage icons, modern models, and race-ready builds, all competing across judged classes, plus the always-popular People’s Choice.

Free and open to the public, the car show will take place in the parking lot behind the Gardens, off 3rd and Dahlia Ave.
