This aerial view of the 53rd annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show was taken by Doug Allen from his plane in 2018.
FALLBROOK – The 54th annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show will be held Sunday, May 26, during Memorial Day weekend, on the grass at the Pala Mesa Resort, 2001 Old Highway 395, in Fallbrook, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show and parking are free to visitors.
The event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. with the Fallbrook High School ROTC presenting the colors. The Fallbrook High School Band will perform the national anthem.
In addition to the hundreds of stock, modified classic and vintage cars on display, there will be hot rods and customs as this year's featured cars, on display at the front of the show field adjacent to show central. Nearby will be 25 Brass-Era vehicles which are restored vehicles built before 1915 including early 2-cylinder Oldsmobiles, an REO, a Rambler, a Ford Model S and "Tin Lizzies" or Model Ts.
An even bigger Restoration Road will be a main attraction of the show, showcasing businesses and companies involved in the restoration and customization of classic and vintage vehicles. Also, all automotive and vehicle-related swap meet vendors will be located alongside the Restoration Road on Fairway 9, immediately along the east side of the main show field.
More than 15,000 visitors are expected throughout the day to view the featured cars. Visitors are asked to not touch the cars but are welcome to take photos to show their friends what they missed at the Memorial Day weekend show.
The event also includes culinary offerings, beer and wine in its own garden tent, and maybe a Bloody Mary, or two, as well as an expected 80 to 90 swap meet vendor booths with jewelry, art, antiques, collectables and more.
There will be a children's area at the north end of the North Show Field with bounce houses and other attractions.
Traffic flow has been engineered to provide fast access to the show. There will be multiple entrances, all accessed via Canonita Road, to speed visitors to a parking space. The event will again use the San Diego Sheriff's Volunteer team headed up by Jack Wood.

As always, proceeds support youth organizations, senior and civic organizations and military groups in Fallbrook and surrounding areas. Over $21,000 was donated to these organizations last year.
