Sicamous Show & Shine

The Sicamous Show & Shine is a recurring community celebration held in Sicamous, British Columbia, dedicated to automotive history and custom craftsmanship. During the event, Main Street is closed to through traffic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., creating a walkable gallery for spectators to admire meticulously maintained classic cars, hot rods, and antiques. The 17th annual edition featured a variety of notable entries, ranging from original 1950s models to specialized themed vehicles like a Transformers-inspired Camaro.

Beyond the static displays, the festival includes a car parade where unique motorized vehicles take to the street. The event is rounded out by live classic rock performances, which provide a soundtrack for attendees as they browse local vendor stalls. Food and beverage options are central to the experience, with several food trucks on-site and a beer garden hosted by the local Legion branch. The gathering serves as a regional draw, attracting vehicle owners and visitors from surrounding areas like Salmon Arm and Armstrong.
