The 3rd Annual “Highway to Heaven” Car Show Returns to Rio Linda

Classic Chrome and Community Spirit

RIO LINDA, CA — The roar of vintage engines and the gleam of polished chrome are set to return to Elkhorn Boulevard this May. New Life Church has officially announced the return of its 3rd Annual “Highway to Heaven” Car Show, a local favorite that bridges the gap between automotive passion and community outreach.

Scheduled for Saturday, May 16th, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, the event promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane for residents of Rio Linda, Elverta, and the surrounding Sacramento area.

A Show with a Mission

While the cars are the stars, the heart of the event lies in its purpose. All proceeds from the show benefit the various ministries at New Life Church, including programs specifically designed for men, women, children, and youth.

“It’s about more than just the vehicles,” says the event’s organizing committee. “It’s about working together for the entire community and supporting the next generation.”

What to Expect

Whether you are a “gearhead” or just looking for a family-friendly Saturday outing, the “Highway to Heaven” show has something for everyone:

• Free Spectator Admission: There is no cost for the public to walk the grounds and admire the entries.
• A Wide Array of Categories: From “Best Original” and “Best Paint” to “Under Construction” and “Best Motorcycle,” a diverse range of vehicles will be vying for top honors.
• Judging & Awards: The official judging begins at 1:00 pm, culminating in the highly anticipated “Best of Show” trophy.
• Food & Fun: Food will be available for purchase on-site, and attendees can try their luck at various raffle drawings throughout the afternoon.

Local Support

The event is bolstered by a strong lineup of local sponsors, including Starbucks (Elkhorn Blvd), Les Schwab (Antelope), Napa Auto Parts (Watt Ave), and O’Reilly’s Auto Parts (Elkhorn Blvd). Their involvement ensures that the “Highway to Heaven” show remains a staple on the Rio Linda spring calendar.

For those looking to showcase their own pride and joy, vehicle entry is $25 per car. Participants are encouraged to pre-register to secure a prime spot on the lot.
