Welcome to HotRods N’ Heroes , the premier event merging Southern California’s car culture with our nation’s heroes. Taking place March 28–29, 2026, in Huntington Beach, California, this event honors military, law enforcement, fire, and first responders while celebrating the lifestyle and automotive community that defines Southern California.
Benefiting the 42 Foundation, HotRods N’ Heroes raises funds to support programs that enhance law enforcement effectiveness, provide aid to first responders and their families, and assist those affected by injury, illness, or catastrophic events.
Our Beverage & Spirits Donor Program gives your brand the opportunity to engage thousands of attendees, showcase your product in a premium environment, and align with a respected community event that celebrates both horsepower and heroism.
