Thank you SO much for registering your vehicle for the Benedict Castle Concours Car Show on May 17, 2026, benefiting Teen Challenge! We’ve made check in even more quick and simple this year.
Benedict Castle’s Address:
5445 Chicago Avenue
Riverside, CA 92507
If possible, please place your car(s) at the Castle on Saturday. Our facility is not “trailer friendly” so please trailer them in on Saturday. Saturday parking will be from 9am to 3pm.
We have trailer parking off site about a mile away at:
Church on the Hill
5500 Alessandro Blvd.
Riverside, CA 92506
You can offload at the Castle or at off-site parking.
When you pull in the church driveway, please make an immediate right and go up the hill to the large dirt lot. Please do not park in the church parking lot. A shuttle will be available to bring you back to the Castle on Saturday.
Upon arrival at our gate on Chicago Ave. on Saturday, you will be given a bright neon card with your vehicle’s assigned location. Show the neon card to the parking crew who will direct you to the appropriate location. Once you have parked your vehicle, please proceed to the Gift Shop to pick up your Entrant Packet and Gift Bag. The Gift Shop will only be open from 9am to 3pm on Saturday, and then again Sunday morning starting at 7am.
The front gate will be locked with on-site vehicle security all night.
The sprinklers will be turned off 3 days before the show.
Consider covering your car overnight. Make sure your car cover is removed before 9am Sunday for judging.
If you haven’t purchased tickets already, consider attending the Saturday Evening Gala honoring the incredible work of Teen Challenge in the Castle Courtyard and recognizing this year’s Co-Grand Marshals, Barry and Karen Meguiar! Gala reception begins at 4:30pm with hors d’oeuvres. As of this communication, tickets are still available and may be purchased online. The Gala Dinner will sell out, so act now!
ALL VEHICLES MUST BE IN PLACE BEFORE 9am! The doors open to the public at 9am and the roads become walkways for the spectators.
The Castle gates will open, and vehicles may start loading in at 6:00am on Sunday. NO TRAILERS WILL BE ALLOWED ON CAMPUS SUNDAY MORNING. Trailers may unload on Chicago Ave. just past the front gate. After unloading, you may take your trailer to Church on the Hill (address above). There will be a shuttle to take you back to the Castle.
Upon arrival at our gate on Chicago Ave., you will be given a bright neon card with your vehicle’s assigned location. Show the neon card to the parking crew who will direct you to the appropriate location. Once you have parked your vehicle, please proceed to the Gift Shop to pick up your Entrant Packet and Gift Bag.
Included in the Entrant Packet:
Included at Check-in is one Gift Bag for each vehicle registered. Event merchandise, Nethercutt High Tea Tickets, Petersen VIP Pavilion tickets, and Castle Tour tickets can be purchased the day of the event at the Gift Shop near the front of the Castle.
If your car is being judged, and you are away from your car, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR HOOD OPEN FOR THE JUDGES.
PLEASE NOTE: We provide two white, padded folding chairs for your use. This makes for one less thing you need to bring and makes the venue look that much more beautiful..

We are truly grateful that you are taking the time to come out and support our event. We realize the work it takes to make your vehicle “Show Car” ready! That is why you are the most important people at the show, and we aim to treat you well. Don’t forget to stop and talk with students in the red t-shirts–their stories will touch your heart.
