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.
