Celebrating vehicles of all makes, shapes, ages and conditions, while supporting our local businesses.

The Rose City Extrauto is a free auto exhibition in Portland’s South Park Blocks on September 18th from 8am to 1 pm.  The exhibition brings support to the surrounding businesses of downtown by celebrating vehicles of all makes, shapes, and varying conditions, and creating a free-family friendly event. 

For car enthusiasts this is the first car show event since the Portland Art Museum’s Auto Exhibition in 2011.  The south Park Blocks are also the perfect central location to bring out vehicles of Portland’s unique vehicle culture.  Vehicles can register for free.

During the show, spectators can view a broad range of vehicles from American classics, modern imports, to electric vehicles. All participants are encouraged to support the surrounding businesses and vote on their favorite vehicles with fun and unique awards like “Best Questionable Decision”, ‘Best Adventure Mobile’, and ‘Best for School Drop offs’.
