The best time to register was March. The next best time is now. Artomobilia is nearly at capacity, with only eight percent of the field left, and registration may close early this week. Collector cars, Putnam Park race machines, and select entries from Nashville's Lane Motor Museum are already coming together.

Over the past week we've fielded a run of texts, emails and calls, all circling the same questions about dates and deadlines. So here's the full picture, organized by entry deadline: every event still ahead on the 2026 calendar. Summer disappears fast, and these will be here before you know it.

Summer feels like it just started, right up until it's half over. Artomobilia registration closes the last week of July. Nineteen years in, roughly five hundred curated cars return to the Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown on August 29th. Last year, 150 entrants were turned away.

All-Americana is next Saturday, and spots are filling fast. Gary Bartlett brings his 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra, one of nineteen built. Holley Motorsports and Hi-Tech Legends introduce their reimagined GT500 alongside the original. Music, barbecue, and garage tours round out the afternoon. July 18th at Motor District.

We're pleased to welcome Dreyer & Reinbold BMW as presenting sponsor of BMW-Palooza. Family owned and serving central Indiana for more than fifty years, they join us in Carmel Midtown on August 29th for a gathering of every generation of the marque. Registration is open.

Reworking a legend is not for the faint of heart. Hi-Tech Legends and Holley Motorsports reimagined the Shelby GT500 with a modern chassis, driveline, and inconceivable horsepower, while honoring everything that made the original great. See both cars, side by side, at All-Americana on July 18th.

The Veloce Hangar Party, presented by Gator Motorsport, pairs extraordinary automobiles with private jet aircraft, great music, an open bar, and a menu from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Five years running, it's the hottest ticket in August. Tickets, tables, and lounges are going fast.

What is the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, and what does it have to do with Artomobilia? A closer look at the event that kicks off Artomobilia Weekend on August 28th at Motor District, where 24 exceptional restorations meet judges, dealership reps, a Ruth's Chris lunch, and live music.

There's a straight line from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the assembly lines of Detroit, and it runs through the heart of American car culture. All-Americana celebrates that whole arc on July 18th at Motor District, with icons from every era, music, barbecue, and garage tours.

Two hundred fifty years ago, a group of ordinary men wrote down an idea so durable we are still living inside it. The Constitution carried it through every upheaval a country can face. Generations of brave men and women have defended it. That is what's worth celebrating this weekend.

We're glad to welcome the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, Crossroads Chapter, back to Artomobilia for Mercedes-Palooza. A marque club since 1956 brings something a general show can't: deep knowledge, real connection, and cars whose owners can tell their stories. Find them in Carmel on August 29th.

Keep your car show-ready wherever the road takes you. The new Artomobilia Show Day Essentials Kit pairs premium SONAX and Autogeek essentials in one branded kit, a value over $62. Pick one up for $49.99 at events, or pre-order now for $39.99. Perfect for quick touch-ups before any show or cruise.

Once you have marked the country's 250th birthday, point the car toward Westfield for All-Americana. Expect garage tours from Motor District, lunch from Big Hoffa's Smokehouse, and music all afternoon. This year brings a special display of original and reimagined 1960s Shelby GT500s, classic appearance meeting modern performance side by side.

Every year follows the same pattern. Registrations arrive at a steady pace, then climb exponentially starting July 5 and continuing until capacity. Last year we turned away more than 150 entrants because of deadlines and space. If you plan to join Artomobilia for 2026, register early, before the window closes

Gary Bartlett brings his 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra, CSX3019, to All-Americana as a featured car.

July 18th at Motor District.

The Veloce Hangar Party, presented by Gator Motorsport, returns to the Jet Access center at Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville, and we're glad to welcome Jet Access as a sponsor and partner.
