ABOUT US
Welcome to the most popular and complete web site dedicated to our Garden State Car Culture - Jersey Shore Car Shows! We are your guide to the local car scene and your trusted friend in the car community.
WHAT WE DO
WHO WE ARE
We are a group of like minded automotive enthusiasts who have come together to make sure you have access to everything car culture related in New Jersey. In addition to running this comprehensive web site, we operate as a 501c3 non profit running events to benefit our many charities!
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are more than a web site and the premier promoters in the automotive community. We are also showrunners putting on events in Ocean and Monmouth County to benefit our many great charitable organizations.
99% of the events listed on this web site are run by a club, group, or organization not affiliated with Jersey Shore Car Shows. As such, it is their responsibility to update us regarding event changes, postponements, or cancellations. We always recommend to check directly with show runners prior to heading out to an event.
