THIS IS A

WORK

IN PROGRESS

Tickets & Entry

  • No judges, no scorecards — just good taste, and plenty of it.

  • Dress like you’re about to bump into Marcello Mastroianni at a gas station. In other words: comfortable, stylish, and maybe just a little cinematic.

  • Absolutely. We’ve curated a lineup of food and drink options to match the cars—delicious, interesting, and just a bit over the top.

  • Yes, as long as you keep your wristband on. But fair warning: you might not want to leave.

  • Macchinissima is (mah-kee-NEE-see-mah) — but we also go by Macchi (MAH-kee) for short.

Getting There &

Getting Around

  • Is there a VIP section?
    Actually, someone once told us, "I was looking for the VIP section, and then I realized the whole place is the VIP section." That pretty much sums it up. Everyone gets the full experience—no velvet ropes, no exclusive zones. If you’re here, you’re in.

  • Macchinissima is a love letter to beautiful machines and the people who love them — that means you.

    By entering, you agree that we may photograph or film you (and your glorious ride) for use in our coverage of this event and future promotions. Your presence here means you're cool with that.

    If you'd rather not appear on camera, just let one of our crew members know and we'll do our best to steer clear.

    Grazie — and enjoy the ride.

  • Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome—as long as they’re leashed, sociable, and comfortable in a crowd. We love seeing cool cars and good dogs in the same frame. (Please clean up after your pup. Bad humans ruin it for everyone.)

What to Expect

  • Macchinissima opens at 9:00am and runs until 3:00pm. Arrive early—there’s a lot to take in.

  • There will be street parking nearby, but availability may be limited and is not monitored.

    OR
    A safe, secure lot is included in every ticket. More details here.

  • If we’re not sold out, yes—but don’t count on it. We sold out last year. Buying in advance is the safest bet.

  • Nope. Just show your digital ticket on your phone at the entrance.

  • We don’t offer refunds, but tickets are transferable. If you can’t make it, send someone in your place and make their day.

  • Rain or shine. But hey—it’s September in Southern California. Odds are, you’ll need sunscreen, not an umbrella.

Other Questions We Get a Lot

  • Italian cars, mostly—but not the ones you see every day. Expect the rare, the ridiculous, the race-prepped, the rusting, the resurrected. And maybe a few rule-breakers from elsewhere.

  • Imagine an Italian film festival collided with a low-key car show, on a perfect Sunday morning, in a city that forgot it was cool. That’s Macchinissima.

  • Yes. Always. We design the show to have a few things you weren’t expecting—so don’t blink.

  • Definitely. There’s plenty to see and space to roam. Just keep an eye on the little ones—some of these cars are older than their grandparents, and if they break it, you buy it.
