2026 Euro Block Party

2026 Euro Block Party: European Cars, Community & Plenty of Rain

In June 2026, we celebrated a new chapter at Kings Cross Automotive with our first-ever Euro Block Party in Vancouver, Washington.

For the past 10 years, this annual tradition was known as the Kings Cross Automotive British Block Party. The event celebrated the British vehicles that have always been at the heart of our shop.

This year, however, we expanded the event to welcome the broader European car community. Even a full day of Pacific Northwest rain couldn't stop the fun.

From British Block Party to Euro Block Party

Kings Cross Automotive has deep roots in British automobiles, particularly Jaguar, Land Rover and MINI. Over the years, however, both our shop and our expertise have grown.

Today, we specialize in leading European marques including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and MINI.

So, after a decade of the British Block Party, expanding into the Euro Block Party felt like a natural next step.

Rain or Shine, the European Car Community Showed Up

Did it rain? Absolutely.

In fact, it rained pretty much all day.

As a result, we had fewer cars on display than we originally hoped. But the weather certainly didn't keep everyone away. We still had a great turnout, plenty of incredible European vehicles and, most importantly, a lot of fun.

To everyone who braved the rain, brought out a car, stopped by or spent the day with us: thank you.

More importantly, events like this are about more than what's parked on the street. They're about bringing people together who share an appreciation for European cars. We loved welcoming enthusiasts from Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, Battle Ground, Portland and beyond.
