Art State Arizona

Cruise, BBQ & Blues Car Show (Oro Valley, AZ) February 7, 2026

February 7th, 2026
Oro Valley Marketplace

This winter, the Cruise, BBQ & Blues Car Show roars back into Oro Valley with a day built for enthusiasts, families, and anyone who loves the spark of creativity. More than a car show, this festival is an epic mashup of craftsmanship, food, and music. Over 200 classic and custom cars will line the streets, each a rolling masterpiece of design and engineering. From vintage favorites polished to perfection to one-of-a-kind builds that push the limits of imagination, every vehicle tells a story of passion and ingenuity. With more than 30 award classes—including Best Paint, Best Engine, and People’s Choice—you’ll see the artistry of the automobile celebrated in full throttle.
And when it comes to flavor, the Tucson Foodie BBQ Competition raises the stakes. Local pitmasters and culinary trailblazers will fire up their smokers, battling it out for top honors while serving mouthwatering plates to the crowd. From smoky brisket and fall-off-the-bone ribs to bold sauces and inventive sides, the competition is fierce—and delicious. Paired with live blues music filling the desert air, it’s a festival that excites every sense.
At Art State Arizona, we believe art lives everywhere—on the canvas, in the garage, in the kitchen, and on the stage. This festival celebrates that vision, showing how creativity drives community and culture forward. Every detail, from custom interiors to BBQ smoke, tells a story of ingenuity and connection. Admission is just $5 (free for kids 10 and under), making this a day of high-octane fun that welcomes everyone.
