Cultura on the Lake 2025

Mark your calendars for a sleek, low‑riding summer celebration at the inaugural Cultura on the Lake car show – a vibrant celebration of lowrider and Chicano car culture! Saturday, August 30th, 2025, 3pm to 8pm at 216 E Woodin Avenue in downtown Chelan, WA.

Cultura on the Lake is more than just a car show; it’s a community gathering that honors the artistry, pride, and heritage behind lowrider culture. Attendees will enjoy a dazzling parade of chromed-out custom lowriders, street trucks, lowrider bikes, and more – all radiating amazing automotive artistry.

Witness automotive craftsmanship up close and connect with others who appreciate its deeper cultural meaning. Every detail, from hydraulics and hand-painted murals to whitewall tires, tells a story.

Better yet, it all takes place just 15 minutes down the shore from our lakeside vacation destination, Kelly’s Resort.
