Kings Cross Automotive Hosts
2026 Euro Block Party
2026 Euro Block Party: European Cars, Community & Plenty of Rain
In June 2026, we continued a Kings Cross Automotive tradition that’s been going strong for more than a decade—this time with a new name: the Kings Cross Automotive Euro Block Party. Previously known as the Kings Cross Automotive British Block Party, our annual event began as a celebration of the British vehicles that have always been at the heart of our shop. As Kings Cross Automotive has grown to specialize in a wider range of European vehicles, the event has evolved right along with us. The name may be new, but the tradition, community, and love of great cars remain the same.
From British Roots to Full European Auto Expertise
While our heritage lies in British brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, and MINI, Kings Cross Automotive has evolved. Today, our certified technicians provide advanced diagnostics, repair, and maintenance for the region's finest European marques:
- German Engineering: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Porsche
- Swedish Precision: Volvo
- British Heritage: Jaguar, Land Rover, and MINI
After a decade of hosting the British Block Party, expanding the event to include all European makes was the perfect way to reflect our shop's growing capabilities.
Rain or Shine, the Pacific Northwest Community Delivered
Did it pour? Absolutely, right on cue for June in Washington. The wet weather kept some vehicles in their garages, resulting in a smaller display than planned, but it couldn't dampen the community spirit.
We still enjoyed a fantastic turnout of passionate owners and stunning cars. To everyone who braved the elements, drove out, or stopped by to support our team: thank you for making it an unforgettable day.
Connecting Local Car Enthusiasts
Ultimately, this weekend proved that our annual event is about much more than what is parked on the street. It is about fostering connections between people who share a deep appreciation for European performance and design.
We were thrilled to welcome drivers and enthusiasts from across the Clark County and Portland metro areas, including:
- Washington: Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, and Battle Ground
- Oregon: Portland and surrounding neighborhoods
Thank you for making the 2026 Euro Block Party a success. We are already planning for next year—hopefully with a bit more sunshine!
