Southwest Ford Truck Show 2026 in Lake Havasu
This weekend looks like quite a busy one here in Lake Havasu. We have a truck show, a classic car and bike show, an art show, a craft show, and a BBQ championship taking place over the course of two days. It looks like there is definitely something for everyone to do and see. Wow!
What: Southwest Ford Truck Show
Where: Havasu Riviera Marina
When: March 13th & 14th from 8 am to 4 pm
Southwest Ford Truck Show
The Riviera Marina fills up with classic Ford trucks manufactured no later than 1996. You may even see a few boats at the show. Additionally, vendors set up shop for your convenience. Visit the swap meet to find parts and accessories for your own classic Ford vehicle. Enjoy great music while chowing down on delicious eats from one of the food trucks on-site.
Smokin' in the Sand BBQ Championship
While you're at the Havasu Riviera on Saturday (March 14th), head over to the Smokin' in the Sand BBQ Championship. From 11 am to 4:30 pm, several pitmasters compete to be the grill master. Tasting tickets cost $2 each. Parking is $10 per vehicle.
Crossroads Classic Car & Bike Show
If the Marina just isn't your scene, go to the Havasu Speedway for the Crossroads Classic Car and Bike Show. From 7 am to 3 pm on Saturday the 14th, the Calvary Baptist Church hosts their annual car and bike show. It costs nothing to attend. They even pass out free hot dogs, chips, and water to all guests in attendance.
Art at the Lake
Now, if you prefer the arts, then you may want to go to the Aquatic Center instead. On Saturday (9 am to 5 pm) and Sunday (10 am to 2 pm), the center transforms into an art gallery filled with beautiful juried artwork. Admission is free but the artwork is priceless. Art comes in many forms: painting, pottery, photography, jewelry, glass, sculptures, and more. You have the opportunity to see all of it at the show.
Havasu Spring Craft and Vendor Show
For art of another sort, visit Main Street Commons (2112 McCullouch Blvd) on Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm. This show features artists, craftsmen, and more selling handcrafted soaps, candles, jewelry, quilts, carvings, and more. Find the perfect Mother's Day, graduation, birthday, or anniversary present right here.
