If you are looking for things to do in Hemet, CA, this April, look no further. On Saturday, April 18, 2026, Golden Village Palms RV Resort hosts its 12th Annual Vintage Trailer & Classic Car Show, and this one is shaping up to be the best yet. Whether you are a die-hard classic car collector, a vintage camper enthusiast, or just someone who loves a great outdoor event with food, music, and genuine community spirit, this is your weekend.
A Full Day of Retro Fun
The main event runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and is open to the public for just $10 general admission. Once you are in, the fun is all yours. Stroll through a stunning display of lovingly restored vintage campers and classic cars that span decades of automotive and travel history. It is the kind of show where every vehicle has a story, and the people who bring them love to share it.
In between the chrome and tail fins, you will find a curated Vintage Vendor Fair packed with retro treasures, one-of-a-kind finds, and gifts you will not find anywhere else. And keeping the energy high all day long is Stone Soul, a high-energy Motown Tribute Band that will have you dancing in the grass before you even realize it.
Great Food, Better Company
From noon to 3:00 PM, local food trucks pull up to keep you fueled and satisfied. But the real showstopper is the Golden Village Palms Featured Chef Special, a specially crafted dish served up just for the occasion. It is the kind of bonus that turns a great event into a full-on experience.
End the Night with the Beatles (Well, Almost)
When the sun goes down, the party does not stop. At 7:00 PM, British Finest takes the stage for an unforgettable Beatles Tribute Concert. This one is a can't-miss night out, and tickets are available separately for outside guests. If you are already staying at the resort, even better, since the concert is included in your weekend.
Make It a Full Weekend at California's Largest RV Resort
Why just come for the day when you can make it a full weekend? As California's largest RV resort, Golden Village Palms is built for guests who want more than just a place to stay. Think resort-style pools, pickleball courts, a fitness center, fun events, and a community that knows how to have fun together. The Vintage Show weekend is exactly what Golden Village Palms is all about: bringing people together for experiences they will talk about long after they head home.
Guests who book a stay from April 16 to 19 can take advantage of all the Vintage Show events. That means the car show, the vendor fair, the live music, the concert, and the Sunday Farewell Breakfast are all part of your stay. A 2-night minimum applies.
More Than a Show: It's a Community at 12th Annual Vintage Trailer & Classic Car Show
Ask anyone who has been to this show before, and they will tell you the same thing: the vehicles are amazing, but the people are what make it special. The vintage trailer community is tight-knit, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the craft of restoration. Owners spend hours walking the grounds, peering inside each other's trailers, admiring the decorating touches, swapping tips on repairs, and picking up ideas they cannot wait to try on their own rigs.
That spirit of sharing is what keeps so many of these owners coming back year after year, some since the very first show. Rob and Petty Graham make the trip all the way from Montana just to be part of it. They love walking around to see what other owners have done with their trailers, whether it is a clever repair solution, a vintage piece of decor that perfectly captures a certain era, or a restoration technique they have never seen before. For Rob, Petty, and hundreds of owners like them, this is not just a vintage tailor event. It is a reunion.
Part of the charm is in the details. Many owners decorate their trailers with antique items, period-correct accessories, and vintage finds that bring the whole setup to life. Walking through the display feels less like browsing a lot and more like stepping into a collection of living time capsules, each one reflecting the personality and passion of the person who restored it. It is genuinely one of the most inspiring and heartwarming things you can experience as a vintage enthusiast.
Got a Vintage Trailer or Classic Car? Bring It Out!
If you own a vintage trailer or classic car and want to be part of the show, then hurry up and secure your spot. This is your chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts, showcase your restoration work, and pick up a few new ideas. Just mention it when you make your reservation, and the team at Golden Village Palms will handle the details. We can't wait to see you at the 12th Annual Vintage Trailer & Classic Car Show coming up soon, so don't delay.
