PeopleLooking for something to do this New Year's Eve in Danville? See DanvilleSocial.com list of things to do for NYE 2020! This is our 22th year! We hope you will join us........the dates for our 2016 shows will be  Thursdays JULY 14th. AND AUGUST 11TH. Show hours are 4 PM to 9 Pm, while our car staging starts at 2 PM.  Our last show for the summer has been pushed back a week due to our local school schedules which will be back in session during what was traditionally the last week in August.   Last year our growing show caused massive traffic congestion for parents who were trying to pick up their children from school.

History of the Event

In 1993, a few friends were sitting in historic Elliots Bar and thought that Danville would be a nice venue to have a hot rod and classic car show and a great way to stimulate business for the downtown merchants. They rolled up their sleeves, went through the appropriate channels to kick it off, and a car show was born! Little did they know back then how big this event would become.

We are now celebrating our 22th year and entertaining more than 30,000 visitors, residents, and consumers during this 2 show event. People from around the nation call to find out the dates of the show and plan their vacations around The Danville Hot Summer Nights Car Show. There are people who have specifically built or purchased a hot rod or a classic just to have the pride of showing their car at this fabulous Danville event!!

 GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY

Vet HallThe Danville Car Show supports the goals and objectives of the NEW VETERANS HALL at 400 Hartz avenue and also to the ONE HUNDRED CLUB of Contra Costa County. 

 

The Danville Car Show contributes financially to the annual production costs for the 9-11 Rememberance  Ceremonies at Oak Hill Park in Danville.  This Heart Felt Event is produced by our local Chapter of the National Exchange Club. 

Our Veterans Hall was in dire need of being totally rebuilt to meet the needs of the Veterans of the Greater San Ramon Valley Area.  Please visit this historical landmark building during your visit to the show......it is the most beautiful Veterans Hall in Northern California.  It is truly a site to behold.

The new building will serve  Veterans from all branches of military service. It will also be a Community Center for our Citizens and will also be a meeting place for our Seniors who wish to enjoy the beauty of this historical site while participating in fun activities.  

  MILITARY VEHICLES WILL BE ON DISPLAY......GUNS AND ALL!   This new Veterans Hall was built from the support of our Town and the contributions from our community ...............THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR HELPING!

The ONE HUNDRED CLUB is an organization that  provides the surviving spouse of a  police officer or fireman, who is killed in the line of duty $20,000.00 cash --within 48 hours of their loved ones death. NO PAY BACK! The money helps the family with any financial needs they may have during a most difficult time!  Everyone is proud of those who serve and protect us all!

 Want to be a 100 Club Member?  Its easy, just visit their booth or stop by our Heardquarter Booth for more information. Just $100's a year is the membership fee.  What a small amount of money, that does so much for so many!
