The 33rd annual Return to Renton Car Show is back again this year! This is a fun, free community event for all ages. Kids will love seeing the wide variety of bright, shiny and colorful cars, including makes and models you can't find anywhere else. 

This year's kids activities at the Return to Renton Car show include a special Hot Wheels Show with Hot Wheels tracks, video games, and vendors as well as a balloon twister and a face painter. New this year is the Craft Cruise, with local businesses hosting craft stations for all ages. It's like a wine walk, but with crafts and cars!

Come see hundreds of cars and enjoy a day of entertainment, food trucks, vendors, live music by the Kennydales and fun trophy categories. Make it a day out with your family and enjoy dinner after the show at one of Renton's fantastic downtown restaurants. The event is free, but there is a cost to register a car to exhibit.
