About this event

Endless Summer Cruisin’ 2026 is listed October 8–11 with show fields at the Convention Center and Inlet Lot. Typical hours mirror spring Cruisin’: Thu–Sat 9 AM–5 PM; Sunday 9 AM–3 PM Inlet only—confirm on Special Event Production / OceanCity.com.

Spectator tickets in recent seasons ran about $15 Thu–Sat and $10 Sunday, children under 14 free with an adult. One ticket generally works across both venues on dual-venue days.

October weather means wind layers and comfortable shoes for asphalt lots. Families can pair show days with Boardwalk treats—budget parking patience and rideshare buffers after awards.

Fall also hosts Sunfest, craft-beer weekends, and fishing traffic—cross-check calendars so lodging nights match the car-show days you care about.

Quick planning tips

  • Sunday Inlet-only hours—double-check before you schedule the day.
  • Wear layers; October lots get windy by late afternoon.
  • Screenshot your ticket QR before cell data stalls.
