Each year, the Garden Ridge Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association holds an open car show as our primary fundraising event of the year.

The show now takes place on a Saturday in October of each year. Just like in past years, it is a fun filled event for the whole family! As the name indicates, the event centers around a car show, where you’ll see many different makes and models of cars and trucks.

From the classics to more recent models, you’ll see a wide variety of vehicles from all over the central and south Texas area. But awesome cars and trucks are not all you’ll get to see at this event each year, because we also have a craft show featuring plenty of local artisans selling their hand made goods, various activities for kids of all ages, as well as plenty of food and drinks. And if all of this isn’t enough already, the event is FREE to all the spectators! That’s right, free parking and free admission to all of our guests.

Special Thanks

Our Sponsors

We cannot be successful without our wonderful, generous sponsors. With their support, we have been able to provide event t-shirts for the participants, trophies and plaques for the winners, golf carts to transport spectators to and from the parking lots, and so much more. Thank you to all of our sponsors!

Many thanks to all of last year’s sponsors for help making our show a success! If you see them around town, please be sure to say Thank you for their support of this event, and of course if you are in need of their services, please patronize their businesses!
