Timeless Americana at Rods and Roses in Carpinteria

Rods and Roses is an annual event held on Linden Avenue in Carpinteria. This year it was held on Saturday afternoon with the annual Carpinteria Independence Parade right after.

Showcasing American classic and muscle cars isn’t the only highlight of the Rods and Roses Auto Show. Since the show first opened in 1997, Rods and Roses raised money to support local non-profit groups such as Future Farmers of America, Carpinteria Cares for Youth, Hope Net, and Carpinteria Education Foundation, just to name a few.

Since its conception, Rods & Roses has raised significant funds for these much-needed youth organizations through the generous donations of local businesses and community members.
