Get in gear and cruise down to Cofton Holidays, near Dawlish, for the annual American Car Show.
Taking place from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd June 2025, over 3,500 visitors are expected to enjoy a weekend packed with classic cars, live music, entertainment, and family fun. More than 200 American vehicles will be on display, including Mustangs, Cadillacs, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Buicks, and Jeeps.
Now in its 8th year, Cofton’s American Car Show is the biggest of its kind in the South West and has become a firm favourite for motor enthusiasts and families alike. American car owners will be heading to the Devon coast, bringing their pride and joy to be admired by thousands of visitors.
On Saturday morning, the show kicks off with a cruise through Dawlish town and along the seafront to Dawlish Warren Green, giving passers-by the chance to catch a glimpse of the stunning vehicles as they parade by. Owners can enter their cars into the judging, with trophies up for grabs including Best in Show, Cofton’s Choice, Best Custom, and the People’s Choice Award.
Guests can book a stay at Cofton Holidays for the weekend or visit the show for the day. A full programme of entertainment will run across the weekend, with live music, children’s activities, street food, and more. Food lovers can enjoy a range of street food vendors offering local and international flavours, while a fully licensed marquee bar provides the perfect spot to relax with a drink.
There’ll be live music throughout the weekend, with performances from Rockin’ The Joint, Elvis tribute Adam Carter, and Dolly Parton tribute Carrie-Anne. Local singer-songwriter Rich Cottell will also be taking to the stage. On Saturday evening, the entertainment continues with a thrilling fire show at 6pm, followed by a spectacular fireworks finale lighting up the skies above Cofton.
Families will find plenty to keep the kids entertained, including movie prop cars such as the Back to the Future DeLorean and the Ghostbusters Ecto-1, plus a huge inflatable fun zone featuring bouncy castles and an assault course. Children can also enjoy balloon modelling, circus skills, face painting, and lively performances from the Cofton Crew, featuring Digby the Dinosaur. Uncle Sam will be entertaining guests on stilts throughout the day.
Four-legged family members are also welcome, with the return of the popular ‘Crofts’ Dog Show on Saturday afternoon. There’ll be a variety of fun categories to enter and rosettes to be won.
