3rd Annual Viking Classic Car Show Returns to Solvang – October 11, 2025

A Free Community Celebration of Vintage Vehicles, Local Culture, and Giving Back

On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the streets of downtown Solvang – affectionately known as the Danish Capital of America – will once again fill with chrome, horsepower, and community pride as the 3rd Annual Viking Classic Car Show returns.

Hosted by the Vikings of Solvang, this free-admission event invites classic car lovers, and curious visitors to enjoy a day of vintage vehicles, small-town charm, and charitable impact.

More than 200 pre-2000 cars and trucks will line the streets of Solvang, including everything from hot rods and muscle cars to sports cars, pickups, and fully restored classics. New for 2025, the show introduces a “Specialty Vehicles” class – open to unique or unusual entries that don’t fit standard categories, including select post-1999 vehicles.

“This event is more than a car show, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and compassion,” said Vikings Chief Joe Tyson. “We’re proud to bring people together in Solvang to admire these timeless machines while raising funds for a meaningful cause.”

Vehicle Registration Now Open

Enthusiasts with pre-2000 vehicles or qualifying specialty entries are encouraged to register now.
