Things to do at the 2026 Arizona Car Week<\/p>\n
While a number of the events that are part of car week are free, there are some that require tickets, which can be purchased online<\/a>.<\/p>\n From family-friendly gatherings to cocktail experiences and cigar lounges, there is something for everyone to enjoy depending on what they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n A brand-new event series is being introduced by The Warehouse<\/a> \u2014 a vehicle storage facility and social club \u2014 during car week. It is called the Art House Collective<\/a> and celebrates the combination of automotive culture and fine art.<\/p>\n \u201cBy debuting this six-day art gallery during Arizona Car Week, we\u2019re able to not only gather like-minded enthusiasts that may be looking for storage for their prized vehicles or a new community to join, but also, we have the perfect opportunity for increased exposure that helps support four amazing artists and the creative community of Arizona as a whole,\u201d The Warehouse founder and event organizer Rebecca Nguyen said in a press release.<\/p>\n The artists being featured at the exhibition, which runs from Jan. 20 to Jan. 25, include Dwight Knowlton, Lyn Hiner, Bill Pack and David Townsend.<\/p>\n A company that will be returning to Arizona Car Week is Italian Design and Racing<\/a> with its Ritrovo Cavallino Rampante event on Jan. 22, which provides attendees with the opportunity to see rare, exotic Italian cars and a gallery of memorabilia.<\/p>\n \u201cEach year, this event gives us a great reason to invite people in to see and experience firsthand the unique nature of our shop,\u201d owner Michael Carpenter said. \u201cYou really need to see the shop to fully experience all that we have to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n Carpenter explained how important foot traffic from car week is to his business, adding that it also provides those who stop by an in-person look at the vehicles and their craftsmanship that photos and words online can\u2019t compare to.<\/p>\n In fact, many local businesses use car week to boost their businesses and gain exposure for their brand. In 2025, Arizona Car Week broke a record with 31 events across the Valley, according to Roberge.<\/p>\n \u201cAt its core, my mission with arizonacarweek.org is to ensure all communities in our state have the information and access to witness, from a front-row seat, this rolling evolution of car culture,\u201d Roberge said. \u201cThis is what truly sets our state apart. It\u2019s that this scene isn\u2019t locked behind velvet ropes or invitation-only garages. It\u2019s accessible. It\u2019s family friendly. It\u2019s right here in our backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n Have a story idea or tip? Pass it along to the KTAR News team here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
