Downtown Guelph Exotic Car Show Paused for 2026 Due to Construction

The Downtown Guelph Exotic Car Show will not take place in 2026 due to ongoing road construction projects throughout the downtown core, according to an update posted by Prince Adventures.

The annual event has operated in downtown Guelph for seven years and has become a well-known summer attraction featuring exotic and luxury vehicles on Carden Street. Organizers Jamie and Jakki Prince stated they decided to pause the event rather than make changes that would alter the experience attendees have come to expect.

Prince Adventures said the event has raised more than $400,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph over the years.

The 2025 event was held June 1 in downtown Guelph and included exotic and hypercars, live music, raffles, and fundraising activities in support of the local charity. The event was free for the public to attend.

Organizers say they plan to bring the show back in 2027 as part of Guelph’s Bicentennial and Memorial Cup celebrations.
