One of the most well-attended events in San Juan, more than 1,000 people are expected to enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere including the high-flying Disc Dogs Demo Team, entertainment, food by Las Golondrinas, exhibits and vendor booths, plus excellent prizes. Contributing to the festive surroundings, a number of car owners and guests bring their dogs, which must be well-behaved and leashed.
The Car Show is presented by The Rotary Club of San Juan Capistrano and Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort (CARE) to benefit Rotary Club charities in support of children, youth, military families, and others, and CARE's support of the rescue, humane treatment and adoption of homeless dogs and cats in San Juan Capistrano.

A companion event, the 4th Annual Dr. Joe Cortese Memorial Motorcycle Poker Run which will honor the longtime Rotarian and CARE founding member, is expected to attract several hundred motorcycle enthusiasts from all over Southern California. This year's ride will start at 8 a.m. with check-in at Orange County Harley-Davidson, 8677 Research Dr. in Irvine, wend through scenic south Orange County, and finish at the Car Show.
