RADwood, driven by Hagerty and presented by Goodyear, returns to the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, October 24, for its most engaging event yet. The automotive festival known for celebrating the cars and culture of the ’80s and ’90s will stage the brand’s first free-to-attend evening event and feature iconic cars at full-throttle in its latest, enthusiast-focused format. This year’s event will also be headlined by DJ, producer and member of the Beastie Boys, Mix Master Mike.

“RADwood exists because driving enthusiasts crave real experiences and community,” said Hagerty CMO Marc Burns. “For 2026, we cranked it up! We added iconic cars running at full-throttle, a new evening format, a live DJ set and then made it free to attend. It’s everything you love about the ’80s and ’90s, minus the dial-up.”

Presented by Goodyear, the show will feature hundreds of period-correct cars, trucks and motorcycles onsite at Gold Bar Hangar at historic Alameda Point. Wheels in Motion, a driving exhibition including the era’s most significant rides performing flybys at full throttle, will present a rare opportunity to see and hear some of the greatest cars at redline. Pioneer will provide period tunes as official sound partner of RADwood NorCal.

Bay Area native Mix Master Mike will headline the evening. A three-time DMC World DJ Champion, he co-founded the pioneering turntablist crew Invisibl Skratch Piklz with DJ Qbert and DJ Apollo before becoming the longtime DJ for the Beastie Boys, starting with 1998’s “Hello Nasty” and the world tour that followed. Both the event and the concert are free to attend with advance registration.

Featured vehicle classes include Kei Cars, Tuners, Movie Cars and Mustang vs. Camaro. Additionally, for the first time, RADwood expands into Y2K with the introduction of a new class, ‘Millenia’, spotlighting iconic cars from 2000–2010. Rounding out the entertainment and hospitality are popular Bay Area food trucks and RADwood’s signature Raddest Dressed contest, where attendees are judged on their period-correct attire.
