Engines & Appetites: Kicking Off 2026 with Two Major Fundraisers

Is it just us, or does winter feel long enough already? If you are itching to get out of the garage and gather with your car peeps (and grab some great food), we have fantastic news.

Jersey Shore Car Shows is proud to announce two incredible fundraising events coming up early this year to shake off the winter blues. Whether you are looking for a warm indoor show with a hot meal or a big day out by the water, we have you covered.


Here is what you need to mark on your calendar right now.


1. The "No Snow" Indoor Car Show & Italian Dinner

Date: Saturday, February 21, 2026

Time: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: Murray Grove, Lanoka Harbor

Forget the freezing temperatures and the road salt. We are hosting an indoor event where the cars stay pristine in your garage and the drivers stay warm with a hot meal.

Join us at Murray Grove in Lanoka Harbor for a night of beautiful rides and a delicious Italian dinner. It’s the perfect way to get your car fix without checking the weather forecast every five minutes. This is a great opportunity to catch up with friends in the car community and support a local fundraiser while enjoying a hearty meal.


2. Gramma Has Dementia 2nd Annual Fundraiser

Date: Sunday, March 8, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Location: The Captain’s Inn, Forked River

We are back for year two! After a successful inaugural event, local author Andra Napoleon returning to the beautiful Captain’s Inn in Forked River for the 2nd Annual Gramma Has Dementia Fundraiser.

This event is near and dear to our hearts. We’re combining our love for community with a fight against an illness that affects so many families. Come spend the day with us by the water, enjoy some of the best food and entertainment in the tri-state area, and help us

raise money for a crucial cause.


Get Your Engines Ready

Both of these events are about more than just horsepower; they are about coming together as a community. We can’t wait to see familiar faces and new rides as we kick off the 2026 season.


Stay tuned for more updates, and we'll see you in Lanoka Harbor this February, and Forked River in March!
