The Italian Car Club of North Texas and the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau will present the 22nd Annual ItalianCarFest on September 12 at Historic Nash Farm, 626 Ball St. in Grapevine, Texas. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with free admission for visitors of all ages.
ItalianCarFest is the largest showcase of premier Italian automobiles in the Southwest and will bring together more than 90 classic and modern cars and motorcycles, transforming Nash Farm into a celebration of Italian design, engineering and automotive culture.
For Italian Americans and lovers of Italy in Texas, the event represents much more than a traditional car show. The vehicles on display tell part of the story of Italian creativity – a tradition in which technological innovation, craftsmanship, aesthetics and performance have combined to create some of the world's most recognizable automobiles.
ItalianCarFest also serves as the annual prelude to the 40th Annual GrapeFest – A Texas Wine Experience, which will take place September 17–20, 2026, on Grapevine's Historic Main Street. GrapeFest attracts approximately 250,000 visitors annually and has grown from a one-day festival featuring 6 Texas wineries into a major 4-day celebration.
Visitors attending ItalianCarFest can also explore Historic Nash Farm. The historic farmhouse will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., extending the experience beyond the automobile exhibition.
Vehicle registration remains open online through September 9, subject to available space, while registrations will not be accepted on the day of the show.
With 22 editions behind it, ItalianCarFest has become a distinctive Texas showcase for Italy's automotive heritage and another example of how Italian identity continues to be celebrated across the United States.
