Motorized Animal Weekend is set for Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Commerce, California, with a five-hour pop-up built around custom cars, art vendors, and family-friendly drop-ins. (eventbrite.com) The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Compound by Dirt Dog, 2909 Supply Avenue, and Eventbrite lists doors at 10:30 a.m. with no refunds. (eventbrite.com) Organizers say the day will include a car show, an art market, DJs, free raffles, cosplay, food, and displays tied to furry culture and Itasha cars, the anime-decorated vehicles common at fan conventions and tuner meets. (eventbrite.com) The April 25 edition is being pitched as an all-ages event, which sets it apart from the organizer’s broader calendar of Southern California furry and anime gatherings, where Linktree says “most” rave events are 18 and older. (eventbrite.com) (linktr.ee) That mix of car-meet culture and fandom culture has become the event’s identity. MAW_Events describes itself as a Southern California organizer focused on car meets, art markets, DJs, furry gatherings, anime events, and raves across Los Angeles and Orange counties. (linktr.ee) The vehicle side has its own rules. Organizers say showcase parking is first-come, first-served, cars must be running under their own power, and featured builds should be modified, themed, Itasha, anime, furry, or other enthusiast vehicles. (eventbrite.com) (linktr.ee) Cost depends on how people attend. Eventbrite says regular street parking is free, while car-show spots require a $5 donation, and the listing also mentions RSVP options tied to sponsor donations. (eventbrite.com) The organizer has run related events before at the same Commerce venue, including “Motorized Animal Weekend - Furry & Fandom Car Meet” on February 8, 2026, also from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (eventbrite.com) For April 25, the basic pitch is simple: arrive during the drop-in window, browse the market, and watch the builds rotate through a one-day crossover of local artists, fandom costuming, and custom car culture.
