The Jacka Car Show returns to Antioch on Saturday, August 22, 2026, with an afternoon dedicated to custom vehicles, local music culture and the lasting legacy of Bay Area rapper The Jacka.
Presented by Mama Jack and Reatha Pitre, the show will run from noon until 4:00 p.m. at One Plant Antioch. Nump Trump will host the event, which now includes 16 competitive trophy categories covering everything from lowriders and scrapers to imports, trucks and Mustangs.
This isn’t simply another collection of cars arranged around a parking lot while their owners protect folding chairs like family heirlooms. The Jacka Car Show combines Bay Area automotive culture with a meaningful tribute to one of the region’s most respected independent artists.
The Jacka Car Show Date and Location
The Jacka Car Show will take place at:
Date: Saturday, August 22, 2026
Time: 12:00–4:00 p.m.
Location: One Plant Antioch
Address: 2701 West 10th Street, Antioch, CA 94509
Admission requirement: Attendees must be 21 or older
No separate spectator admission price has been announced. Anyone planning to attend should monitor the organizers’ social-media accounts for possible updates before making the trip.
Sixteen Trophy Categories Are Confirmed
Organizers have confirmed 16 trophies for the 2026 show. The competition is open to a broad cross-section of Bay Area automotive culture, including:
- Lowriders
- Scrapers
- Imports
- Classic cars
- Muscle cars
- Mustangs
- Trucks
- Motorcycles
- Custom and specialty builds
That variety is important. The Bay Area car scene has never belonged to one platform, manufacturer or generation. Japanese imports, old-school American cars, lifted trucks and deeply rooted lowrider culture have always shared the same streets—even if their owners still argue about which group has the loudest exhaust and least forgiving suspension.
The trophy competition should bring out more serious builds than a casual meet, creating opportunities for spectators to see vehicles that normally appear only at dedicated club events or larger regional shows.
Free Vehicle Registration Is Available
Vehicle entry is advertised as free, but owners must register in advance by sending a direct message to @oneplant_antioch on Instagram.
The registration deadline is Sunday, August 16, 2026. Space is limited, so owners interested in competing for one of the 16 trophies should contact the organizer before the available display area fills.
Free registration is a welcome departure from events that charge owners to provide the primary attraction and then charge everyone else to look at it. Still, entrants should wait for confirmation before assuming they have a guaranteed display position.
Honoring the Legacy of The Jacka
The show’s central purpose extends beyond its trophy categories.
The Jacka became one of the most influential voices in Northern California hip-hop through his solo work and his role in the Pittsburg-based group Mob Figaz. His music maintained a strong connection to the communities, streets and independent culture of the Bay Area.
Mama Jack and the organizers are using the car show to celebrate that legacy through vehicles, music and community participation. It gives the event an identity that many conventional car shows lack.
Lowriders, scrapers and customized street cars have long been connected to Northern California music culture. Bringing those elements together makes The Jacka Car Show a natural setting for personal vehicle stories, club features and conversations about the relationship between Bay Area cars and music.
Why Pro Street TV Is Watching This Event
The Jacka Car Show has the right ingredients for meaningful Pro Street TV coverage.
The wide vehicle mix should create opportunities to feature import builds, lowriders, American performance cars, trucks and motorcycles during a single afternoon. More importantly, the event provides a cultural story that exists beyond horsepower figures and wheel specifications.
Pro Street TV has spent years documenting Northern California automotive communities because the people behind the cars are usually more interesting than a generic show recap. A properly built car tells part of the story. The owner, neighborhood, club and motivation behind that build explain the rest.
Viewers can follow upcoming Northern California event coverage on the Pro Street TV YouTube channel and find additional automotive news, technical guides and enthusiast features at Pro Street Online.
Two Antioch Car Shows in One Day
The Jacka Car Show also creates a practical doubleheader for enthusiasts traveling to Antioch.
The event ends at 4:00 p.m., which is when the previously announced After Hours Showdown begins its public program at Antioch Speedway. After Hours Showdown runs until 11:00 p.m. at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds.
That gives attendees the option to spend the afternoon at One Plant Antioch before heading to the speedway for a larger nighttime show featuring cars, trucks, imports, lowriders, motorcycles and specialty builds.
The two venues are in the same city, making this one of the stronger full-day automotive schedules in the East Bay that weekend. Apparently, Antioch decided one car show was insufficient and chose the sensible solution: more cars.
Should You Attend The Jacka Car Show?
The Jacka Car Show should appeal to anyone interested in authentic Bay Area automotive culture rather than a narrowly focused concours.
It combines competitive builds, free vehicle registration, local clubs and an important cultural tribute in a format that remains accessible to grassroots enthusiasts. The 21-and-over venue restriction means it won’t work as a family outing, but adult spectators and vehicle owners should find a diverse selection of cars and stories.
Owners interested in displaying a vehicle should register immediately. Everyone else should confirm final admission and parking information with the organizers before August 22.
