SF’s “King of the Streets” 2025: Lowrider Parade & Car Show

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Usually with lowriders, the key is to get as low as you can go. But on Saturday, we’ll get to see how high. At this annual car show, explore the evolution of lowrider styles as up to 500 classic cars from the 1930s to 1980s are all shined up and grouped by decade. *We aren’t sure how many vehicles will be on display in 2025, but in the past, up to 500 vehicles have been in the car show. 

This year, 2025, the lowriders will parade down Mission Street for the King of the Streets Parade, which will be televised live on CBS at 1pm. We think the epic car show will follow the parade. As of July 4, 2025, details are still sparse. 

In 2024, here’s what happened. However, we expect the 2025 schedule will be different, but it’s very likely the annual car hopping contest will still take place.

2024 Details:
Typically, at noon, watch lowrider owners stand with remote controls next to their cars like proud papas (and mamas) with some hydraulic “Radical Hoppers” bouncing so high that Klay Thompson could walk underneath. After the show, most of the lowriders hit the road to strut their stuff for a Saturday night cruise up and down Mission Street.  

Get ready to check out the Bay’s most polished and decked out lowriders at this annual “King of the Streets” car show which includes an epic lowrider car hopping contest. Afterward, the lowriders will cruise the Mission starting around 5pm.
