What are we all about?
The Central Valley Rodders are a non-profit club that works alongside businesses in the Kittitas county community to benefit charitable causes. We welcome all individuals to promote and preserve the automotive hobby through enjoyment of all makes and models.
This is done by organizing and hosting various fundraising events, most notably the annual Ellensburg Open Car Show.
Young or old, new or used, we welcome all makes and models of automobiles to our club, as well as the people who drive them.
The Rodders Host a Car Show each June. Check out our events page for more information.

Join us for our annual car show in beautiful downtown Ellensburg on June 20, 2026. Cars will be lined up along several downtown streets. ALL VEHICLES WELCOME. All makes, models of vehicles can register including unrestored, motorcycles and any other specialty vehicle.
It will be an exciting day with the Farmer's Market nearby along with Dachshunds and Friends On Parade at Unity Park a few streets over. Not to mention all of the awesome vehicles on display, free to the public!
There will be pre-registration (will be posted here as the event gets closer) and arrive early to make sure you get a goodie bag ~ only the first 100 registrants get one! Registration is open 8 AM, and the car show starts at 9 AM. There will be a 50/50 drawing, lots of raffles donated from local businesses, trophies and music.
All proceeds benefit a local charity or charities. Last year our charity was the Gretchen Weller Foundation, "Living well with cancer".
