Cerritos College Hosting Free Car Show June 13

Cerritos College will hold its second annual car show on Saturday, June 13, with free public admission at the Norwalk campus. (cerritos.edu) The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Parking Lot 1 on Alondra Boulevard, and registered vehicle owners can roll in from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. (cerritos.edu) Cerritos College says the show will include hot rods, lowriders, exotics, trucks, muscle cars and classics, along with food trucks and a disc jockey. Participants who register a vehicle will receive a commemorative T-shirt, and the college plans to award trophies in select categories. (cerritos.edu) The college is offering a $25 early-bird registration rate through May 16 before prices increase after that date. The event page says all vehicle types are welcome. (2urbangirls.com) The show lands during Cerritos College’s 70th anniversary year, which the campus has tied to the event in promotional material. The college describes itself as a public community college in Norwalk with degrees and certificates in 87 areas of study across nine divisions. (pvca.org, cerritos.edu) That makes the car show part campus outreach and part neighborhood event: a college parking lot turned into a public gathering space with custom cars, music and food. The school has also hosted other public-facing events this spring, including its 17th annual Community Resource Fair in March. (cerritos.edu, cerritos.edu) The location matters, too. Norwalk sits in a part of southeast Los Angeles County where weekend car meets, lowrider culture and classic-car shows are a familiar part of local community life, and the college is pitching the June 13 show as a Southern California car-culture celebration. (cerritos.edu, 2urbangirls.com) For visitors, the pitch is simple: show up June 13, walk the rows of cars, and stay for lunch and music. For owners, the next deadline is May 16 if they want the lower registration price. (cerritos.edu, 2urbangirls.com)
