Blending science, mechanics and design is an innovative art form in its own right. Car design is a ubiquitous but often overlooked art form which SAACA brings to light through our annual Classic Car Show.

The event invites thousands of people out to rev up the weekend with live oldies music, kids’ activities and great food. With over 30 different classes of auto awards given in Best of Show, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Engine and People’s Choice. The one day event will feature live Blues music on the main stage, classic BBQ on the grill, and an endless supply of everything we have come to love about fast cars and classic auto.

All monies raised at the event will go directly to support SAACA's community arts and cultural outreach programs throughout the State.  
SAACA believes that every aspect of an automobile is art, from the headlights and the body of the car, to the seats and dashboard, even each little screw and bolt holding the car together. The event aims to bring the automobile to light as an art form through this spectacular community event, which also supports our Business and Arts integration initiatives.

The main stage will feature some of the best in homegrown Arizona blues music. With acts ranging from a young band at the beginning of their career, to seasoned players who belong to the AZ Blues Hall of Fame, the festival will be sure to electrify music fans of all kinds.

With their debut E.P. 'Tiny Tales', Miss Olivia and The Interlopers showcased a bold sound and a brilliant vision, weaving blues, soul and rock and roll – sounding for all the world like your favorite mixtape from an old friend with a great record collection. and while the band’s lineup and direction may have evolved in the time since that release, their spirit hasn’t changed a bit. It just keeps getting bigger and better. Anchored by the creative core of powerhouse vocalist Olivia Reardon and nuanced bassist David Hostetler, this is a band that leads from the heart but never compromises on craft. Drawing from influences ranging all the way from Erykah Badu, Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent, Lake Street Dive, Durand Jones and a million bands more, Miss Olivia and The Interlopers is a band whose performances are always unique but never less than their collective best, whether performing in a small space as an intimate trio, or as a full, dynamic eclectic rock ensemble.
