2025 Langley Cruise-In Car Show
The Langley Good Times Cruise-In Car Show is a massive outdoor car show in Aldergrove. In fact, it’s one of the biggest mixed car shows in the country! Thousands of vehicles line the streets and people from all across the Lower Mainland come and admire them. The first ever Cruise-In took place in 1997 and it’s been happening most years since then. It’s an impressive show that’s perfect for car enthusiasts and their families.
The annual event features all kinds of custom and classic vehicles. The Cruise-In offers live entertainment on multiple stages, along with an awards ceremony with prizes for some of the best vehicles. Plus, the Cruise-In is one of the only places in Canada with an In-N-Out food truck.
The Cruise-In is run only by volunteers. It’s open to the public and free to attend. Registering a vehicle for the show costs around $30. All proceeds each year are donated to various charities.
Cruise-In Date and Location
