August wouldn’t be complete without the Annual Vista Rod Run. Going 24 years strong the Vista Rod Run features over 300 classic cars, hot rods, and specialty vehicles throughout the Historic Downtown Vista area.
Car enthusiasts will be delighted with the pristine paint jobs, perfect upholstery, and what’s under the hood. Coming from garages near and far, car owners are encouraged to participate to see if their baby stands out from the crowd. The Vista Rod Run awards over 30 trophies and prizes for our winning vehicles, and “Best of Show” will be featured on the following year’s event t-shirt.
Bring the family down for this classic car day and enjoy a street fair, live entertainment on two stages, a kid’s costume contest, downtown shopping and a Craft Brew Garden all day long.
