The Road to Riches Santa at City Hall Car Show and Holiday Market runs on Saturday 12 December 2026 from 1pm to 6pm at the Chandler City Hall Parking Garage, 240 South Washington Street. The City of Chandler’s event page calls it the third annual and says it is hosted by the BAM Foundation in partnership with the city. The foundation’s registration page describes it as an annual fundraiser car show and toy drive benefiting the youth of Chandler’s public housing.
When to arrive
Show hours are 1pm to 6pm, on both the city’s page and the foundation’s. Vehicle roll-in starts at 11am, according to the registration page, two hours before the show opens. Spectators have no reason to come before 1pm.
Showing a car
Registration on the foundation’s ticketing page is free, and the page marks entries as needing approval. Each participant is asked to bring a new, unwrapped gift for a child, teen or young adult, and to consider a donation to the foundation at roll-up. The page says all cars and trucks are welcome, all makes and models, and that space is limited. Car show awards are on the program. The categories are not published.
One rule is printed on the ticket itself: absolutely no revving, hopping or burnouts. The show is inside a parking structure next to City Hall, and the rule fits the building.
Watching
Spectators get in free, per the registration page. The program it lists for the day includes the toy drive, a Santa appearance, a live DJ, food trucks, a holiday market of local vendors, free arts and crafts for children, and the awards.
Where the money goes
The city says the event is a fundraiser for the foundation’s year-round programs for Chandler families and youth. Proceeds also support scholarships for Chandler graduating seniors who complete the foundation’s mentorship program, and the city says those scholarships are presented at the Road to Riches Car Show each April. The foundation’s ticketing page shows that spring show was held on 25 April 2026 in the same garage.
Before you go
Neither page says where spectators should park while the garage is in use for the show. The city keeps a page on downtown Chandler parking. Bring the toy unwrapped.
