The Motors and Music Car Show takes place at the KPU campus in Langley. The event is a celebration of cars, live music and community fundraising.
The Motors and Music event features lots of collectible vehicles as well as tribute bands playing music from yesteryear.
Founded in 2022 through a partnership between Hagerty and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Motors and Music was created to connect the local automotive community with live music while raising money for charitable causes and community projects. The 2026 event continues that mission by supporting scholarships for children of fallen police and peace officers.
