Simi Valley Elks Car Show and Chili Cook-Off Set for October 18
(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — The Annual Simi Valley Elks Car Show and Chili Cook-Off rolls back into town on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Elks Lodge No. 2492, located at 1561 Kuehner Drive. The event runs from 9am to 3pm, and admission is free.
Now a long-standing Simi Valley tradition, the show draws car enthusiasts, cooks, and families from across Ventura County. Visitors can expect to see a wide mix of classic cars, hot rods, lowriders, and trucks, each polished to perfection.
Beyond the cars, the day offers plenty to enjoy. The chili cook-off returns with local competitors vying for top honors, and food options will include breakfast burritos and tri-tip sandwiches. A no-host bar, raffles, and music from DJ Trever will keep the atmosphere lively.
Hosted by the Simi Valley Elks Lodge, the event is as much about community as it is about cars. Proceeds benefit local schools, veterans, and charities, continuing the Elks’ long tradition of service in Simi Valley.
“This event is about good food, great cars, and giving back,” said one organizer. “It’s something our community looks forward to every year.”
Car owners interested in showing their vehicles can register online through the event’s vehicle registration link.
So grab your friends, your appetite, and your favorite ride, and enjoy a day of cars, chili, and community in the heart of Simi Valley.
