New for 2025 – One of the most anticipated Automotive Experiences – StanceWar’s first Indoor Automotive Festival and We’re keeping it #NorthBest to build an experience for our community.
StanceWars is a unique automotive event that gathers hundreds of carefully selected and approved cars from all over the northwest. For over a decade of the brand’s experience, StanceWars has introduced new standards to the automotive event world. One of the first events to use an approval process five years before it became mainstream. Now every event hasn’t some sort of approval process. Our annual gathering in Seattle was created for enthusiasts by enthusiasts. We highlight some of the best builds in the custom car industry. What differentiates our show from other events is the fact of the strict selection process for cars joining the #Top100. Only the finest vehicles have a chance to find a spot among thousands inside of our show. Looking through a decade of videos and photos from our past shows just highlights this selection and the Quality Of the builds.
StanceWars is an opportunity to admire personalized cars from All over the nation. Enjoy the community at its best, feel the bond with the street culture. With a focus on quality, it has allowed us to create one of the most prestigious automotive events in the Northwest, if not the United States. We are pleased that leading brands recognize our consistency and without their significant help we would not be able to grow.
