The car show will be staged on Mission Street from Fair Oaks to Meridian avenues while the open house will be held in the 800 block of Mound in front of the fire station and in the back lot of the police and fire department on Hope Street west of Mound.
Proceeds from vehicle entries and sponsorships will help pay for South Pasadena’s float in the 2019 Rose Parade. The city’s entry costs roughly $100,000.
Hundreds of the finest street rods, muscle cars, and classic cars will be on display. For the first time, motorcycles will be part of the big event this year.
South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Committee officials are asking $30 per car or motorcycle ($40 on day of event) to be a part of the show.
Merchandise for sale, raffles, food, refreshments, exhibits, and vendors will all be part of the event while the local police and fire departments stage displays and demonstrations of life saving technologies and the tools of the trade to keep the community safe.
Helicopter landings, armored cars, police dog demonstrations, emergency preparedness displays, and a presentation on “Child Safety on the Internet” are among the featured attractions. Guided tours and tactical weapon demonstrations will also be provided.
