5th Edition of a Young Success Story

The Garreler Classics were launched in 2022 as a small classic car show in Garrel and have developed into one of the best-known classic car events in the southern district of Cloppenburg in just a few years. 2026 will see the 5th edition – proof of the format's great success and the continued interest in classic vehicles in the region.

Three Vehicle Categories

The event brings together three vehicle categories:

  • Classic Cars – vehicles from the "golden era" of automotive history
  • Youngtimers – vehicles from the 1970s and 1980s that are on their way to becoming classics
  • Motorcycles – all manufacturing years up to 1990

Large Parts Market

A special feature of the Garreler Classics is the large parts market, which makes the event more than just a show, turning it into a meeting point for collectors, mechanics, and restorers. Spare parts, tools, original documents, and accessories for classic cars and youngtimers are offered here.

Family Program

Unlike some purely classic car events, the Garreler Classics explicitly caters to families: live music, bouncy castles, a carousel, electric karts for children, and entertainment for children by the Johanniter make the weekend a family event.

Prizes for the Three Most Beautiful Vehicles

An expert jury awards prizes for the three most beautiful vehicles – an additional incentive for exhibitors and a highlight of the event.

Date and Information

Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, 2026, from 10:00 AM. Schulstraße, Garrel. Free admission. Current information and registration for vehicle owners: garreler-cbc.de.
