RADwood, driven by Hagerty and presented by Goodyear, returns to the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, Oct. 24. The automotive festival celebrates the cars and culture of the ’80s and ’90s, and this year’s event will stage the brand’s first free-to-attend evening event, Wheels in Motion, featuring iconic cars in its latest, enthusiast-focused format, according to a press release.
“RADwood exists because driving enthusiasts crave real experiences and community,” said Hagerty CMO Marc Burns. “For 2026, we cranked it up. We added iconic cars running at full throttle, a new evening format and then made it free to attend. It’s everything you love about the ’80s and ’90s, minus the dial-up.”
Presented by Goodyear, the show will feature hundreds of period-correct cars, trucks and motorcycles on-site at Gold Bar Hangar at historic Alameda Point. Wheels in Motion, a driving exhibition including the era’s most significant rides performing flybys, will present a rare opportunity to see and hear some of the greatest cars at redline, the release noted. Pioneer will provide period tunes as official sound partner of RADwood NorCal.
Featured vehicle classes include Kei Cars, tuners, movie cars and Mustang vs. Camaro. Additionally, for the first time, RADwood expands into Y2K with the introduction of a new class, “Millenia,” spotlighting iconic cars from 2000–10. Rounding out the entertainment and hospitality are popular Bay Area food trucks and RADwood’s signature Raddest Dressed contest, where attendees are judged on their period-correct attire.
Celebrity guest appearances and enthusiast-focused content are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The show runs from 4 to 8 p.m., with early entry for Hagerty Drivers Club members at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free, with all attendees asked to reserve a ticket in advance. Show car owners and entrants can register their vehicle on the RADwood website.
